⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2025/26 | Group Phase

[DaNNy001]

Athletic Bilbao lost 3-0 at home, making it difficult to advance. In the 30th minute, United took the lead with Casemiro's goal and 5 minutes later they were even more comfortable when Vivian was red carded. United led 3-0 at half-time and that's how they finished the game. They managed to take a huge advantage. I expected Bilbao to win but the red card changed the whole balance.

Manchester United football team played very well in the last match and that team did excellent goals in last match and that was one sided result of this match. Fernandes was the person who did two goals in this match and he was the top performer of this match because nobody did more than 1 goal in this match except Fernandes. He did his first goal at 37 minutes of the match and after this goal, score of that team was 2 and opponent team score was 0 and he did goal again at 45 minutes of the match and after this goal , score was 3-0 . Athletic Club team could not perform well in this match and stats of that team was low in this match because that team shots were 9 in this match and only 3 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was very low in this match which was only 27 percent in this match.

the particular game is still surprising to me in one way because I practically thought the game was going to be difficult since they were playing away but that wasn't most definitely the case as Manchester united played very well and ofcourse the Red card gotten by the home team also greatly affected the game but still credit needs to given to the united side for the good victory. But fingers should be crossed though as the game ain't over yet.

It is interesting when both teams can create 3 goals in the first leg and the most advantaged is Manchester United because they will play as the host in the second leg later.

It is quite difficult to be able to turn around, but anything can happen I agree with that. However, before that we will also definitely analyze based on what happened and at this time it seems like we will really see the Premier League derby in the final if nothing very surprising happens.

I don't think anything surprising will happen in the second leg as Manchester United and Tottenham have won in the first leg. We should look forward to seeing the Premier League derby in the finals. That's where the tension will all be because Manchester United and Tottenham need to lift the Europa League trophy by all means, to put smiles on the faces of their fans, as both teams ' performances weren't encouraging in the Premier League matches.

If they meet in the final, then we will see 2 teams that are not doing well in the domestic league will try hard to get the title, as well as to win 1 automatic ticket that will take them to the Champions League, because this is the only chance for them to be in the Champions League.

This will certainly be a very interesting meeting for both teams and I am sure something exciting will happen. In the domestic league they are not much different and even in the standings they are in order.

Although currently both teams have stepped foot in the UEFA Europa League final with a fairly large aggregate. However, there is still no guarantee whether the two teams will actually advance to the final round. For Manchester United, it may be certain because they are ahead with an aggregate of 3-0 and in the second match will appear as hosts. However, for Tottenham Hotspur who are currently ahead with an aggregate of 3-1, and the second match will be played at Bodo/Glimt's home, it seems that it will be quite difficult for Spurs to be able to maintain their aggregate in the second match. Moreover, as we know that Bodo/Glimt is a team that managed to defeat one of the strongest candidates to win the UEL trophy this season, namely Lazio.

However, even so, there is great hope that Spurs and United can meet in the UEL Final this season.

Old me would be putting a few dollars on the Spanish side to overcome the deficit, but current me is a lot wiser, knowing that Bruno and boys will be killing off the game by dreary passing until at least HT.

Spurs also can't possible be any more Spursy, but if there's snow on artificial surface in Bodoe... I might be tempted to sneak in a dollar or two as well.

P.S. No responses or interest from any of you tagged guys? What would make it more interesting? Serious question.

You can't expect anything from Bilbao without brothers Williams, even MU can't bottle it. Bodo/Glimt have more chance for comeback, their stadium is very hard to play. One their goal would be a game changer, but it's still 0:0.
I guess this week is difficult to be Arsenal fan. First getting eliminated from CL and then watching how Spurs and MU reach their final.

There’s something I’ve noticed about the Europa league,  teams that are not doing very well in their individual leagues end up winning the trophy. The last time Eintract Frankfurt won it they finished 11th in their league, Sevilla finished around 12-14th the season they won it last and now we’re seeing Manchester United and Tottenham who are 15th and 16th respectively in their English Premier league almost going into the finals. The Europa League seems like a redemption trophy. All the favourites at the beginning  never win it except Sevilla who sees it as a birthright lol….

Nothing special happened this week in Europa League everything went as planned, 0:2 easy victory of Tottenham and a little bit a might say surprisingly high win of 4:1 made by Man Utd.
We will see an English final to no ones surprise. Its hard being Arsenal supporter for many years but this one hits a little bit different and also harder.

Man United has taken everyone by surprise. This result was very unpredictable. They were very bad in the EPL but I think they played well in Europe. Maybe indeed Amorim is focused on the Europa League instead of the EPL, currently they have a chance to win. But Tottenham's opponent I think it's a pretty difficult opponent. Tottennham have not been good enough this season but in the EPL they are better than Man United. Stats of Man United's last 3 matches have never been won, but the current odds may be just as great. There are always possibilities and the Final match is always different.

But fingers should be crossed though as the game ain't over yet.

Athletic Bilbao tried to play until they conceded, they held and controlled the ball well, attacked well, and were even more inspired when they scored the first goal. But after Manchester United equalized, the Athletic Bilbao players realized that for them this match was over, the difference was very big, and they had to forget three goals again. After that, it was immediately clear that on the field, in fact, only Manchester United was attacking.

The fact is that, United is far bigger and better than small Bilbao field with unexperienced players that can not contain pressure. The humiliation was too much from United because the won them with three goals margin at home and away from home. Did Bilbao think that they are a good match for United in the first place? Then they're kidding.

[Woodie]

Poll question hasn't been updated, seems to be stuck in the 2022/2023 season..for now we talking about an all English team final.

Talking of the final, are the highly tipped Manchester United going to win this competition without having to lose a game or Tottenham will come to the party as party poppers to cut short those celebrations that await a United win... personally I think United should win it just so we owners invest in better players for next season.

[Slow death]

The Manchester United game surprised me a lot. I bet on them and was confident that they would win. But when they conceded a goal in the first half, I thought: "Maybe the game will end in a draw or a defeat for Manchester United." When the first half ended, I was more convinced of this possibility, so I stopped following the game. But a few minutes later I decided to go and see what the result was and I was surprised that Manchester United had scored 4 goals.



luckily I got my bet right

[LTU_btc]

So, today is the day of the final. I just have one question. Do we have Arsenal fans here and if yes, what team you're going to support today? Because that's probably worst possible fianl for Arsenal fans .
It's notthat I wanted to see final between EPL bottom table teams. But we have it now and I just hope it won't be typical boring with 0:0 result. I want to see action. And I still would prefer Spurs to win. I just hate MU too much, but they're favorites tonight.

[CLS63]

Manchester United are favoured for the trophy which is no surprise. I must also admit that they are much closer to the title normally. They are lucky to have Diallo back as well. Because he is really a game changer young talent for them.

Tottenham have many missing players. There are important names among them such as Maddison and Kulusevski as well. They will need to play extra today as a result. It is hard to predict whether this match would end in a regular time or not.

Spurs winning would upset Arsenal and United... and practically no one else! United winning would upset me greatly so I'm with you, Sonny and Ange to put a smile on themselves at least and get that parade going!

We've got nothing else to watch, so hopefully Spurs turn on the style when needed most, no? Enjoy, gentlemen!

I don't know how to delete it. Yeah, I know, call it Gen X foibles... I'll see next season about just editing it to the new one, but the poll was a bad idea I don't know how to undo.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Here we gooooo!!!!
Tottenham stands to lose almost nothing if United lifts the trophy tonight in this match, but United would risk their chances of showing up in the champions League next season. So, it's more like a battle between a predator and a prey -- Can Tottenham turn things around? It'd be great to see them win a trophy after all these years of hard luck!

Match is ongoing and the pressure is on Tottenham. They're really getting defensive and the possessions are rising speedily.

Just three minutes before the first, Manchester United’s defense finally paid the price and gifted Tottenham a free goal, the thing that I have noticed from the beginning for the match, even their dominance was obvious but they couldn’t defend well. An easy goal for Johnson while I saw three or four defenders in the line, like Harry Maguire, they couldn’t stop an easy ball?
I don’t believe United will be able to win the trophy today if they stayed with the same players in defense. They are good in attacking and creating good chances against another weak defense from Tottenham who are only lucky enough to not concede a goal.

Second half will be full of drama and probably more goals when United goes for a full attacking strategy, they don’t have anything to lose but putting pressure.

I think this clash between Manchester united and Tottenham in uefa europa league is one of the rarest clashes where both teams are lingering at the bottom of the premier League table.

Although Spurs have beaten Manchester United twice this year, with a few dangerous players who can win them a game just like Manchester United do. It's a shame spurs have kulisevski out, but Son and Solanke keep causing problems for them.
Man United have learnt from their three defeat to Tottenham this season by not playing
weak, but that didn't change the early mistake tonight. With strength, speed, balance intensity, attacking, accuracy and positioning to score, I expected nothing less than 2 goals.
But since Newcastle United and Crystal Palace ended their long trophy drought this season, I knew there would be a high chance Tottenham might also end the trophy drought as well. Congratulations to Tottenham for the first trophies in a long time!!

I expected the match to be a difficult one for the two teams, but I was expecting a win from Manchester United, but unfortunately Manchester United couldn’t win the Europa league, it’s really bad for Manchester United, even as everyone wasn’t so confident about who will be winning the final, most people were still expecting Manchester United to get a win, but United disappointed everyone by not getting a win.

At some people Manchester United were losing some matches in the premier league, and the reason which they were giving is that they want to focus on the Europa league, but as we can see, they can’t even win the Europa League which they are fighting for.

Manchester United won’t be winning any trophy this season, and they will be ending the premier league at the bottom of the table.
