Of course, Europa League is hard to predict the club that would win the league until the finals. This is why I don't waste my time to come into conclusions on the club that will be the champion this season. Clubs that you hardly put your expectations on might end up winning the league. Let's just watch and see what happens in the long run.

True that. Remember how last year's Europa league, everyone was so sure that Liverpool would win right from the start. There were even chatter about Leverkusen winning it but Liverpool always came first on the list of potential winners and we all know how it turned out. Atalanta hammered both title contenders 3-0.

That's why I've and won't make any predictions like you. We might be thinking it's bigger teams like Lazio and Galatasaray and both might not even come close to winning it.

Yes, it really sticks in my memory how last season went in this Europa League. Liverpool and Leverkusen became the most talked about clubs to be able to win the title, even with Leverkusen's status which never lost last season, it made many people believe that Liverpool and Leverkusen would be fierce competitors.
But one by one they had to go home and the club that defeated them was the same club, namely Atalanta. Atalanta managed to break the assumptions or predictions of many people, they beat Liverpool and they beat Leverkusen in the Europa League final last season.
