Europa League 2024-25 Soccer

[Franco Pinion]

Unbelievable scenes. United 2-0 up, Lyon come back to level to tie before having a player sent off. Lyon then scored twice in extra-time before United scored 3 goals in the last 6 minutes to go through 7-6 on aggregate!!

I knew that when Fernandes scored the penalty, United would win, but I thought that it might have gone to penalties.

 

[Bob the Ninja]

That was a crazy game. Lyon must be ruing a missed opportunity.

I wonder if we will get a Tottenham v Man United final?

 

[Best]

Man United lead 3-0 and have a man advantage in Spain against Athletic Club.

Tottenham are leading 2-0 at home to Bodo/Glimt.

It looks like we are heading towards an all-English final.

 

[Tom]

I guess the Europa League will be heading to Old Trafford then. No way Spurs beat Man United in a final.

 

[Tom]

Man United and Tottenham will contest the Europa League Final in Bilbao on Wednesday 21 May.

United beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at Old Trafford (agg 7-1), and Tottenham won 2-0 in Norway against Bodo/Glimt to progress 5-1 on aggregate.

Both teams have struggled in the lower reaches of the Premier League this season but now have the chance to earn some pride, add a European trophy to their trophy cabinet, and qualify for next season's Champions League.

 

[Tom]

Totenham very nervy at the back in the opening minutes.

 

[Crabtree]

I think Man United win this but I'd prefer Spurs to win.

 

[Crabtree]

They have both started poorly, like the 16th and 17th placed clubs in the Premier League.

 

[Tom]

Nervy start from both teams. United look a bit of a mess at the back.

 

[Tom]

Why do defenders stand with their hands behind their backs? You cannot make yourself "big" standing like that.
