The Incentives For Serie A Sides Juventus And Roma To Progress ... (Forbes)

Both Italian clubs have every reason to invest their energy in the UEFA Europa League and chase the rewards that come with being crowned champions.

Meanwhile, Roma are in a fierce race against some of Italy’s most equipped sides - namely, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Lazio and Atalanta - to secure one of the three remaining UEFA Champions League spots. Both Juventus and Roma are motivated to chase the UEFA Europa League trophy, which alone grants over $15 million in prize money. [Roma battled RB Salzburg](https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/roma-reach-europa-league-last-16-with-2-0-win-over-salzburg-2023-02-23/) at Stadio Olimpico, starting from a 1-0 aggregate in favor of the Austrian Football Bundesliga reigning champions. El Fideo, as he has always been known in the Argentine soccer community, stepped up to the penalty spot, converting from 12 yards and giving his side the double lead. The Nyon draw has put Juventus up against German side Freiburg. A few minutes later, Di Maria nearly scored another classy goal with a back-heel shot, but his brilliant attempt was saved on the goal line by an FC Nantes defender’s handball.

Europa League draw evokes strong memories (Morning Star Online)

LAYTH YOUSIF reminisces reporting on Sporting Lisbon as Arsenal prepare to face them once again.

Ramsey, for example, was to leave in tears at the end of the 2018-19 season. With a regular donation to our monthly Fighting Fund, we can continue to thumb our noses at the fat cats and tell truth to power. The Morning Star is unique, as a lone socialist voice in a sea of corporate media. The stories told to me afterwards confirmed the camaraderie and chaos. My friends and I drove to Liege with a toothbrush, a fistful of hard-earned cash and not much else. The fun and excitement of soaking up new places, while making new memories. I still kick myself for missing Arsenal’s odyssey in the Ukraine a few years back. Stuck in Stockholm. Lost in Lens. For the experience and adventure. I had reported on the game for an Islington-based newspaper. Too late to go to bed.

Mikel Arteta will not sacrifice Europa League for Premier League title ... (The Guardian)

Mikel Arteta said he will pick the best team to win on the day as Arsenal aim for a first top-flight title since 2004.

It’s a challenge he’s going to face with every opponent in front of him and he wants to win that challenge. In the end, he has a great physical element to be able to do that every three days. “We will try to pick, all the time, the team we believe is the best to win on the day,” he said. We’re going to pick the players that are in the best possible condition, because it’s really important to win the game to be in a better condition to win the next one.” I’m sure we’re going to have to share many more minutes around the squad, which is great because we’re going to have to give opportunities to everyone.” But they are inching closer to a remarkable domestic triumph and Arteta, who has been reluctant to tweak his team overly for league games and fielded relatively strong lineups for the Europa League group stage during the autumn, was asked whether he would be compelled to prioritise.

Europa League draw: Bold predictions for Manchester United to ... (CBSSports.com)

As the Champions League winds its way towards the last eight, the Europa League hurtles forward at breackneck speed with the group winners from last autumn ...

Sporting may not be able to overcome a Gabriel Jesus and Saka-led Arsenal but if the Gunners are not at the peak of their powers we know this team can give them all sorts of difficulties. There is talent in the Ukrainian defense, most notably Antoliy Trubin and Mykola Matviyenko, but they will do well to quell a Feyenoord side who have streaked to the top of the Eredivisie with an everyone eats attack in which nine players average between two and 4.5 shots per 90 minutes. With the Premier League title looking like a long shot, it would not be a surprise to see Erik ten Hag give his best XI an awful lot of minutes in this competition. That has started to improve of late and might just be enough to get them through this tie. He may not be the force he was before the injury but then that player was perhaps the most devastating creative force in the Bundesliga at 18 years of age. If he does so, even a good Real Betis side may not be able to stop this team all that much, particularly if Jadon Sancho can take further strides after an encouraging revival of form. It would therefore be extremely appropriate if this midtable La Liga side turned it on to overcome Fenerbahce's freescoring tandem of Enner Valencia and Michy Batshuayi, but a second leg in Istanbul might be the swing factor Jorge Jesus' side need. After the initial shock that came with matters off the field, Massimiliano Allegri's side are rounding back into the form that took them to second place in Serie A before the FIGC's intervention with a 15 point deduction. That comes with its risks: Rob Holding and an untested Jakub Kiwior can't offer the same ball progression platform as Gabriel and William Saliba, while any player who comes in for Bukayo Saka would struggle to match his output, not least Reiss Nelson. Christian Streich's side are fourth in the Bundesliga at the time of writing and can surely expect an even better performance from top scorer Vincenzo Grifo when he returns to his homeland. After all we already have plenty of data to go on with these two, who met in the group stages, where both sides won their road game 1-0. No great assessments on where these clubs are in the continental firmament, we're hitting these games hard and fast, like a Grzegorz Krychowiak tackle (other Europa League icons are available).
