1:46am, 23 May 2025【Football】

On May 22, the Europa League final was scheduled, with Tottenham against Manchester United. This season, Tottenham has defeated Manchester United three times in the Premier League and the British League Cup. That night, they defeated their opponents 1-0 again, defeating Manchester United four times this season, winning the UEFA Cup championship.

In this game, Manchester United is undoubtedly the favorite to win the championship. This season, they have reached the finals without defeat in 14 games. As long as they defeat Tottenham, Manchester United will enter the Champions League. After the game started, Manchester United attacked wildly, but unfortunately they failed to score. What's even worse is that before the end of the half, Tottenham counterattacked, Johnson grabbed the spot in front of the goal, and finally scored the ball, Manchester United fell behind 0-1. After conceding the ball, Manchester United fell into a desperate situation. In the 68th minute of the second half, Manchester United had a chance to equalize the score. At that time, Tottenham goalkeeper abandoned the goal and failed to clear the ball. Hoylund headed the ball, but unfortunately he was cleared by Van Devin. If it weren't for him, Manchester United would equalize the score, which is definitely a must-try goal. Manchester United continued to siege. In stoppage time, Manchester United headed the ball at one time, but unfortunately it was saved by Tottenham goalkeeper. In the end, Manchester United failed to score a goal and could only lose 0-1 to the opponent. After the game ended, Tottenham players celebrated on the court, which was their second European Cup championship after 41 years. Since winning the League Cup in 1983-1984, Tottenham Hotspur has gained nothing in the European competition, and now they have finally won the European championship again. It is worth mentioning that Kane won the Bundesliga this season and won his first championship in his career. Tottenham also won the Europa League, breaking the championship drought for many years. I don’t know if Kane will meet Tottenham in the Champions League next season.

When Tottenham won the championship, several Manchester United players sat on the ground and cried. They were undoubtedly the team that performed better that night, but unfortunately they failed to defeat their opponents. After the game, Manchester United spent most of the time besieging their opponents, but the forward's performance was really bad. After losing this game, Manchester United also missed the Champions League next season and completely failed this season.

If nothing unexpected happens, Manchester United will rebuild this summer, and many high-paying and low-energy players in the team will be swept out. In the past few transfer windows, Manchester United has spent too much money in vain. They have bought a bunch of high-priced and high-paid players. Unfortunately, most of the new players who joined failed to play their due role, resulting in Manchester United's continuous decline and set several shameful records in the Premier League this season. I hope that this summer window, Manchester United can introduce the right players. No matter how rich their background is, they can't stand this struggle anymore!
