Source summary
WikipediaThe 2024–25 UEFA Europa League was the 54th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 16th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
This was the first season played under a new format, which replaced the 32-team group stage with a 36-team league phase. This increased the total number of matches played in the competition (excluding qualifying rounds) from 141 to 189. The new format also did not allow teams to transfer from the Champions League league or knockout phase to the Europa League knockout phase; as the winner of the Europa League automatically qualifies for the Champions League league phase, the Europa League winners (Atalanta in the 2023–24 edition) could no longer defend their title.
The final was played at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, between English clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Tottenham won 1–0, with Brennan Johnson scoring the only goal of the game shortly before half-time, to win their third UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League title and their first major trophy in 17 years. As the winners of the tournament, Tottenham Hotspur automatically qualified for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League league phase and earned the right to play against 2024–25 UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.
