Manchester's United and Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur) will clash in the Europa League's finale.

Let's Talk Football: Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are set to square off in the Europa League final next month!

After an impressive 7-1 aggregate win against Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals, Manchester United is marching towards the big game. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur edged out Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt 2-0 in their second leg (5-1 on aggregate), sealing their spot in the final showdown.

Last season, the Europa League crown went to Atalanta after they thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the final. Remember Ademola Lookman's insane hat-trick? Well, neither United nor Tottenham can boast of a similar triumph in this competition yet.

The victor of this year's match-up will snatch the title and secure a coveted spot in the group stage of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League. The epic battle unfolds on May 21st at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain.

Footnote: Although Russian clubs like CSKA Moscow have made their mark in the UEFA Champions League, they've yet to claim the Championship title. Notable players like Igor Akinfeev have won the UEFA Cup, but the Champions League has remained elusive. Matvey Safonov, a Russian goalkeeper at PSG, starred in his first Champions League final in 21 years in 2024, but his team fell just short. Let's see if this year's spotlight will bring a new winner to the stage! [1][2][5]
