In the last two seasons, there have always been unexpected surprises in the Europa League, including what happened last season where Atalanta surprisingly managed to become champions in the Europa League and were also able to beat Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, who were favorites to win last season. And for next season I also think there will be even more surprises that will happen to the teams that are not favorites to win the championship. Because teams that are not favorites to become champions and are not discussed much by the media will continue to improve their performance to be able to beat all the favorite teams.

Interestingly in recent years no team have consistently won the Europa several times in a row, the fact that the Europa keeps coming with surprises especially with who turns out to be the champions is one thing that keeps it really lively and interesting, the Europa is now even more competitive then some of the domestic leagues in Europe, defeating Liverpool and Leverkusen by Atlanta happens to be one of the highlights of the champions league last season.

Yeah that true but Sevilla would have been favorites to even try to replicate such kind of thing, when they were at their prime they actually played very well and won the Europa league for a good amount of times although they weren't back to back but it was very difficult to see Sevilla and not be scared during that period in the Europa league because even their league performance was poor it wasn't the same with their games in the Europa league.

That's the Europa League because it always has surprise teams to get trophies, but if Sevilla are back in the Europa League then I think Sevilla will always have a chance to get the Europa League trophy. But yes, because Sevilla also only struggled at the bottom of the La Liga table last season, so Sevilla are not playing in the Europa League next season. Therefore, other teams that are not favored will have a chance to get the Europa League trophy. Although indeed, there are elite teams that will also play in the Europa League next season but still, I am personally not sure about elite teams playing in the Europa League. Because after all, elite teams will usually focus more on fighting for the domestic league trophy, so that makes the team not favored have a chance to get good results in the Europa League.
