Overall, the 2023/24 season will be historic in European football.
Ipswich Town got promoted back to the Premier League after decades away from top-flight football. Napoli will finish outside European competition places after winning the 2022/23 Serie A trophy, and most notably, Bayer 04 Leverkusen has won the German top-flight title for the first time in their history.
The same team is on course to another European final, their first since 2002. Here are the five things we learned from the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League season.
Buying 2023/24 Europa League Tickets Has Never Been Easier.
One major impediment for many football fans is access to tickets. Every game ticket is sold on the websites of the clubs playing. On these club websites, registration by name or other details is required to get tickets. Some fans rarely go back to visit the websites, making the signings-up a waste in the end.
Take the current Bundesliga champions, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, for example.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen is in the semis of the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League. At this stage of the competition, they are preparing to face AS Roma in the second leg of their tie after already taking a two-goal lead from the first leg.

Fans are also preparing for football tourist trips from Germany to Italy for the all-important game. Tickets are on ticket reselling platforms like seatsnet.com, where football fans and fan organizations can resell their official tickets to other fans.
Having seat nets around has made the whole process easier. Sure, the tickets are more pricey, but the experience of getting into a stadium is well worth it.
The European Second Tier Is as Good as the First Tier.
The key focus will always be on the UEFA Champions League for all the right reasons. However, the UEFA Europa League has delivered breathtaking football in the past two seasons.
The 2023/24 season has been especially amazing in all respects. With Liverpool, Brighton and Hove Albion, AFC Ajax, Leverkusen, AS Roma, Olympique de Marseille, and so many other impressive European teams competing, fans were treated to great tactics, goals, saves, and performances on select Thursday nights.
The television viewership for the UEFA Europa League also spiked this season because of the impressive football on display. Live attendance also increased, with many buying tickets from other fans and fan organizations on seatsnets.com.
You can get on the train by purchasing Leverkusen tickets and Atalanta vs Marseille tickets on seatsnet.com. Both second-leg matches will occur on Thursday, 9 May 2024, at 2100 CET.
If you cannot be there live, tune in to your favorite broadcaster and enjoy the richness of football beyond the Champions League.
As Roma Are on the Rise
AS Roma will travel to Germany to attempt the second leg of their Europa League semifinal against Leverkusen.
They will take to the BayArena to overturn the 2 – 0 scoreline from the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico. Tickets to this epic match-up are available on seat nets under “Leverkusen vs Roma tickets.”

If they somehow make it to the final after the second leg, this will be their third straight European final and their second Europa League trophy after their UEFA Cup triumph in 1988. Only Real Madrid have experienced this in Europe.
Their current league position is no different from how they have usually fared in the past decade. Still, since Daniele De Rossi took over at the club, they have improved in leaps and bounds. The ghosts of José Mourinho’s torrid third season at the club have vanished.
More importantly, they are in a third-straight semifinal, and only losing to a team that has been as immaculate as Leverkusen shows that things are looking up for them.
Xabi Alonso and Daniele de Rossi Are Coaches for the Future.
AS Roma will be looking for their Bayer 04 Leverkusen miracle next season, significantly after they rose from the ashes to make their way into the Italian 2023/24 Serie A top six.
They also have the Napoli 2022/23 story to inspire them, but most importantly, the team has loyalists and Giallorossi stalwart Daniele De Rossi at the helm.
Alonso followed a similar path in 2022/23 before becoming the German league champions in 2023/24. The Spaniard has already established himself as a coach for the future—one that includes European conquerors Real Madrid.

De Rossi may currently be following Xavi Hernandez’s path in trying to bring his boyhood club back to its glory days, but the signs are looking better than the ones currently showing at Barcelona.
Both De Rossi and Alonso will be coaches to watch in the future. They may not meet in Europa next season of Alonso’s league win, but they will be very much talked about next season and for seasons to come.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Is Still a Top Striker.
He may be 34 years old and in the twilight of his career, but the former Gabon national team captain is still one of the best strikers in the world.
He has had quite the journey in the last half-decade. From falling out of favor at Arsenal for many reasons to failing to make any impact at Chelsea after a brief period of normalcy at Barcelona, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now showing why he was the only player to challenge Robert Lewandowski while he was in Germany.
He became the UEFA Europa League top scorer in the 2023/24 campaign and is currently leading the goal charts in the competition. He is guaranteed the Golden Boot even if Marseille falls to Atalanta in the second leg of their clash.
