The Europa League always presents many unexpected surprises every season, teams that appear more dominant often fail here, even if they come from highly competitive leagues like the Premier League. I think, initially, Lazio, Athletic Bilbao, and Anderlecht were not teams that were considered likely to be at the top of the standings with an undefeated record. This performance clearly puts all three of them on the list of favorites to win the Europa League this season along with several other strong candidates.
However, the three teams are also still not necessarily able to have high consistency in the next round so that all three still have the opportunity to fail in the last 16 or even in the last eight later in the Europa League. Because several teams that do not directly qualify for the last 16 can also be a threat to them so that the level of surprises that can occur in the Europa League can always be unpredictable more clearly. Moreover, for most teams that take advantage of the transfer market to make their strengths more different, they can appear more dominant after winning the playoffs.
