Man U and Spurs Tussle in All-English Europa League Final Spectacle!
Manchester's United and Spurs secure spots in Europa League's final showdown - United Manchester and Tottenham are set to face off in the Europa League's conclusive match.
Looks like we've got ourselves an English showdown in the Europa League final! Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are set to lock horns in Bilbao - and it's gonna be a knockout!
Man United sailed through, thanks to a 4-1 (0:1) second leg victory over Athletic Bilbao. Having dominated the first leg 3:0, they've sealed their berth with a grand total of 7-1. Talk about sheer dominance!
And Tottenham? Well, they're no slouches either. They took out FK Bodo/Glimt with a 2:0 return leg triumph, following a 3:1 first leg romp. The scoreline for the entire series - 5-1, in their favor.
Bilbao gave it their all for a while, with Mikel Jaureguizar scoring the opening goal in the 31st minute. But Man U roared back in the second half, with Mason Mount (72nd/95+1), Casemiro (80th), and top scorer Rasmus Hojlund (85th) turning the tide. This'll be Manchester United's third Europa League final - they won it way back in 2017 (2:0 against Ajax Amsterdam) and suffered defeat in 2021 (10:11 on penalties against Villarreal).
Now, Tottenham, boasting two UEFA Cup victories in their past (1972 and 1984), are eager to claim their first Europa League title. They saw to that with goals from Dominic Solanke (63rd) and Pedro Porro (69th) after the hour mark.
Another English team, Chelsea, has also punched their ticket to a European final. They took Djurgarden down 1:0 (1:0) in the return leg at home, thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's goal (38th). The big showdown is slated for May 28 in Breslau.
