I know it's too early to predict which team in the UEFA Europa League will likely win the competition this season but considering the performance of Galatasaray in their first game of the competition, I have a strong belief that they'll go far in the competition. The Turkish champions in the game against PAOK was able to show strong winning mentality that looks like that of a team with a strong purpose.
Ajax did also had a good performance that saw them score plenty of goals so I think there's a lot to watch out for in the UEFA Europa League this season. At the end, one winner is going to emerge.
The UEFA Europa League is a very tough event that teams and players have to go through. We cannot yet predict who will win the UEFA Europa League this season. It is too early to determine the best because the UEFA Europa League still has a long way to go. The game displayed by Galatasaray at the start of the 2024/2025 season shows that they are one of the teams that will advance to the semi-finals in this big competition but are still competing with the strongest team like Ajax who are always able to get full points in every match.
I see Galatasaray continuing to improve their performance throughout training. so that you can win lots of trophies and emerge as the championship at the end of the match.
I think it's too early for us to assume that galatasaray will be able to go far or even win the European league this season just because based on one match, indeed in the match against Paok it can be seen that galatasaray has a mentality and also quality that is quite ideal to be the favorite team, but we can't deny that there will be many obstacles that can indeed be a barrier to galatasaray winning later, Moreover, indeed the change in format in the current Europa League requires every team to stay focused and have a qualified squad depth to face a tight schedule, Galatasaray so far has a good team quality with many former European players playing in their current squad, but if we reflect on the journey of the Europa League last season then the quality of the team will not necessarily guarantee that they can go as far like what happened to Liverpool last season, The competitive atmosphere of the Europa League is very tight and allows for surprise factors that occur, including teams that are not favorites, but are finally able to win the Europa League like Atalanta last season.
