Time – 8 pm , UK, 9 pm CET.

Welcome to the finals of this season s Europa Cup Finals 2024/2025 , in an all English finals for the sixth time in the history of the compettion , this time between , Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United .
Both side have had it very rough this season 2024/2025 respectively , Tottenham terribly rooted at the 17th position in the English Premsiehip League , with a game in hand , if they don’t win , likely they may join the Nation Wide League next season , other things being equal anyway , for Man United , they presently occupy the 14th position , with a match to go as well , all hopes and standings for both teams still hanging in the balance till the last matches of the EPL are played .

Not withstanding their domestic deficiencies , the two teams hopes of qualifying for Europe next season solely lies in either of them winning the coveted trophy .
Despite Spurs lack lustre performance in the domestic league this season , a win for them is also possible having waited for 17 years for that . Their last Europa trophy was in 1972 and 1984 respectfully when it was then known as UEFA Cup , so a win for them in San Meme , Spain today will make them the second English Club side to hs e won a major European trophy three times , just like Liverpool.

Spurs last appeared in the Europa Cup was in 2018 when they lost 2-0 to the Merside , Liverpool , but for this year tourney they qualifed through the league phases ,just one win today will definitely prove the prophesy of their sweat merchant , Coach Postelegou the first Australian to lead a clubisde to a European Cup finals , who said he usually wins a trophy in his second year in any club side he has managed lately , despite being under fire throughout this season for non performance .Then likely a win today will extend that trend with Spurs .

Spurs qualification to this stage wa a smooth ride and rollar coaster , disnmenebering and reducing to nothing second tier big name teams in Europe like , Bodo Glint of Norway ,5-1 on goal aggregate ,
Rough riding AZ Alkammer and Eintrant Frankfurt as well as putting to bed with a whooping scoreline of stubborn , Norwegian , Club , Bodo , 5-1 on aggregate .after finishing first behind Man United with one point and have won 9 out of their 14 Europa Cup matches this season , shows a good record which Mna United should not take for granted as they file out at San Meme this night .
This stands out to be Spurs most outstanding performance in any single European competition lately , but this contrasts either their low outing in the domestic league where they sit on the 17th position with one game in hand , all the same they have an upper hand against their opponents I this years league whwre they have got a couple of wins one a league match win at Old Trafford 3-0 , an EFL Cup win too as well as 4-3 and a home in February .1-0.

Man United files out against Tottenham tonight in this high profile encounter ,winless in six games , in all competitions so far this season . Their only meeting in this competition was in 1963/1964 when the Reds had the upper hand beating Spurs 4-3 in the quarter finals .
With Spurs hoping to make history by lifting the Cup tonight , since 1984, Man United will seek to repeat their 2017 Europa League success what they beat a young Ajax side made up of Andre Onana , Mathis Legit etc
Four years late r they took part in their 8th European Cup finals , not to lose via penalties against Villarreal , with only Liverpool who has the record of having played in 15 European finals .
While United made a micne meat of Athletico Bilbao in what could have been a sweet hike finals for the Basque region team with a whooping 7-1 goal aggregate , both in the first leg and reverse fixture in UK , 3-0 away and 4-1 home .and with an incredible quarter finals against Lyon which they triumphed after coming from behind 2 goals down , for Harry Maguire to seal victory with a home win goal with a goal aggregate of 7-6 .
After scoring 12 goals in last three matches on their way to today’s finals , and scored 35 goals so far in this year’s competition , it’s only Borrrusia Dortmund that have did in the history of this tournament so far .

Also Amorin team , Man United still remain unbeaten in this year’s Europa League and if I they win today they will become the fourth team that have played Europa and won withiut losing a single game .Will history reoeat itself , this question will be anseered within the 90+ minutes duration of the match , bearing extra time or sudden death penalties .
If he wins today , Amorin will put paid to a really bad season by becoming the third Mamager to win a trophy in his first season after Jose Mourinho , 2016/2017 as well as Erik Ten Hag in 2022/2923.

Not comfortable at all in the domestic league with series of losses , latest being a 1-0 loss to Chelsea last weekejnd which further plunged their position down to the 16th position ,only one place above their opponents today in Bilbao on the 17th position Their champions league hope rests unapologetically in their winning the trophy in far away Bilbao.

Predictions

Man United can salvage an already bad season tonight by winning the trophy in Bilbao , but only if they can put their acts together .
In a match involving two unpredictable teams , the winner can come from eirhe side as the battle for Europe hits to ight

We may expect an extra time , after the 90 minutes regulation time , then extra time as well and possibly if a winner fails to emerge , then sudden death , – penalties .

Totreham 1-2 1+0
or 1-3

Happy Viewing , Happy Mid week
