London club s vision of "ruling Europe" is finally lost: Tottenham and Chelsea will debut in the European finals, and Arsenal unfortunately ends in the Champions League semi-finals

In the early morning of May 9, the semi-finals of the 2024/2025 season of the Europa League and Europa League ended. Manchester United from the Premier League and Tottenham joined hands to advance to the Europa League final, and Chelsea also confirmed to advance to the Europa League final. In this way, three Premier League teams will appear in the European finals this season, and the European Union will stage a Premier League derby.

3 Premier League teams showed enough dominance in their respective European semi-finals. Manchester United defeated Athletic Bilbao 7-1 in two rounds, Tottenham defeated Bode in two rounds 5-1, and Chelsea also advanced with a 5-1 victory over Jurgarden.

As the season is approaching its end, judging from the current points situation, the Premier League is likely to occupy 6 places in the Champions League next season. With five UEFA Champions League places with European points, Manchester United and Tottenham, which have "fallen" this season (15th and 16th places in the Premier League respectively), will compete for the championship qualification in the Europa League final to go directly to the Champions League.

The last time the Premier League team was so dominant in the European competition occurred in the 2018/2019 season, when Liverpool and Tottenham met in the Champions League final, while Arsenal and Chelsea staged a London derby in the Europa League final, and finally achieved a classic scene where the Premier League won the European Championship.

Tottenham and Chelsea, which are about to appear on the European final stage, may embarrass Arsenal. Also as a team from London, Arsenal eliminated Real Madrid 5-1 in the Champions League this season, but ultimately failed to win the French Ligue 1 class dominance Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, which had a chance that the London club would win the European Championship. This team that pursues revival will also have a high probability of ending its season with the league runner-up for three consecutive years.

Turning back to the national arena, another team from south London may also enjoy the joy of the championship, and Crystal Palace will compete with Manchester City in the FA Cup final this season.
