9:20pm, 12 May 2025Football

With Manchester United eliminating Athletic Bilbao 7-1 in total score, Tottenham defeated Bode Shining 5-1 in two rounds, and the Europa League finals were released. This UEFA Cup final will usher in a Premier League civil war. Manchester United, currently ranked 15th in the Premier League, and Tottenham, who is ranked 16th in the Premier League, met in the final. In the Premier League, the two teams are in trouble. If the three newly promoted teams had not announced their relegation early, perhaps the two giant teams were still fighting for relegation. The Europa League championship is currently the only chance for both teams to qualify for the Champions League, which is crucial for both Manchester United and Tottenham. Perhaps this Europa League championship is their hope for a revival.

1. The league is at the mercy of others, and the Europa League has been unbeaten so far. This season can be described as unbearable for Manchester United. In the league, the Red Devils have been constantly breaking the team's lower limit. They are currently ranked sixth from the bottom of the standings with a record of 10 wins, 9 draws and 16 losses. Throughout the season, Manchester United has struggled very much in the league, which obviously does not meet the temperament of having 13 Premier League champions. At the beginning of the league, Manchester United only won 2 games in the first 7 rounds, losing to Liverpool and Tottenham, making the team's league rankings in the middle and lower levels of the standings from the beginning. Although Tenhager was dismissed due to poor record, Manchester United's sky did not light up. The coaching of the new coach Amorin has not changed the team's decline. The performance of players such as Zilkerze and Hoylen on the forward line is also the miserable experience of Manchester United fans. With his poor performance, Manchester United's ranking has also declined again and again. After losing to Brentford in the last round, Manchester United has lost 16 league games this season, and has completely relegated team level in the Premier League.

In contrast, in the Europa League, Manchester United has not yet lost in the Europa League this season. In the league stage, Manchester United ranked third with an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 3 draws, and directly advanced to the Europa League knockout stage. Although Manchester United had a three-game draw at the start of the league stage, Manchester United maintained a complete victory after the next five games. It is the only team that remains unbeaten in the league stage. After entering the knockout stage, Manchester United encountered La Liga powerhouse Real Sociedad in the first round, and a 4-1 victory at home allowed Manchester United to easily advance to the Europa League quarterfinals. Manchester United encountered a real test in the quarterfinals. Facing Lyon's quarter-finals, Manchester United suffered a draw at home in their opponents, and the first leg was not decided. In the second leg, he played against Lyon at Old Trafford. Manchester United once led two goals, but Lyon tied tenaciously and took the lead in overtime, putting Manchester United in a deadlock. In the last moment of overtime, Maynu's goal equalized the score, and Maguire's final victory made Manchester United survive. He won two rounds in the most thrilling way and advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League. In the semi-finals, Manchester United led 3-0 in the first leg, which led to the suspense ending in the two-leg game ahead of schedule. After successfully advancing with a 7-1 victory over Biba, Manchester United is only one step away from the championship, which is the only chance for Manchester United to save this season.

2. Tottenham is in trouble, and the Europa League finals meets

Tottenham's situation this season is surprisingly consistent with Manchester United, even better than that. Currently, in the Premier League standings, Tottenham 16th place in the Premier League and 5th last in the league, obviously making Tottenham fans extremely dissatisfied. Not only did Tottenham have been in the top four seasons in the previous few seasons, but they were even a strong contender for the championship. At the beginning of this season, Tottenham's league record was hard to describe. He only won one game in the first four rounds, and in the middle of the league, he lost nine games in 13 league rounds, and his rankings dropped again and again. If there weren't three newly promoted teams at the bottom, Tottenham might have been a big problem even with relegation. In the past four rounds of the league, Tottenham Hotspur had a consecutive defeat of 1 draw and 3 losses, especially the loss to Liverpool 1-5. The Reds watched the Reds win the championship ahead of schedule, which further highlighted the complete failure of Tottenham Hotspur's league this season. Fortunately, the road to failure is not lonely, and Manchester United, a brother-in-law, is accompanying him all the way.

Spurs' performance in the UEFA Cup arena is different. In the league stage, Tottenham Hotspur ranked behind Manchester United, ranking fourth in the league stage, and directly advanced to the Europa League knockout stage. In the quarterfinals, facing Dutch powerhouse Alkmaar, although he lost to his opponent 0-1 in the first leg, Tottenham completed a comeback in the second leg, successfully defeated his opponent 3-2 with a total score and advanced to the Europa League quarterfinals. In the quarter-finals, Frankfurt, who ranked third in the Bundesliga and won the Europa League championship in the 2021-22 season, Tottenham drew with his opponent in the first leg. The second leg took away the victory 1-0 and advanced to the semi-finals. Facing the shining semi-finals of Norwegian team Bode, Tottenham defeated his opponent 5-1 in two rounds and met with Manchester United in the final. The pair of brothers and brothers unexpectedly met in the European finals, and no one wanted to give up this opportunity to save themselves. This is the fourth time the two teams have met this season. The previous three encounters Tottenham Hotspur completed a triple defeat to Manchester United, defeating the Red Devils 3-0 and 1-0 respectively in the league. The British League Cup quarter-finals defeated Manchester United 4-3, so Tottenham still has a slight psychological advantage in the Europa League final. However, facing the only chance to qualify for the Champions League next season, neither team can give up easily.
