Bayer – the shape of the team and its analysis: the unique statistics allowed the club to exceed any expectations
“The Pharmacists” received a “silver salad bowl” for the first time in April. Soon they will also have a cup, where it is clear who the winner is in the final with Kaiserslautern. The most difficult time for Xabi Alonso’s wards in 2024 was in the Europa League. They lost during the confrontations to both Qarabag (twice) and West Ham. Nevertheless, it all came down to away draws and home wins in the end. Speaking about the battle in Italy, the team achieved a solid 2-0 result.
Roma – the shape of the team and its analysis: the replacement of the coach had an effect, but it is gradually fading
“The Giallorossi” and Mourinho have achieved success in the European competition. Still, if the Italian club won the Conference League in 2022, then the final match was lost on penalties to Sevilla in the Europa League. Speaking about the Serie A, progress appeared only after the resignation of the “Special One”. And then, after a successful period in mid-spring, there were several serious misfires there. On the other hand, after a difficult passage, only on penalties, to Feyenoord in the Europa League, “the Wolves” absolutely beat both Brighton and Milan. As for the semi-finals, they did not respond to a couple of conceded goals.
