Both teams have spent a bad season in the Premier League, set unwanted records and the series of not winning, not worthy of being the team to the Europa League final 2024/25 – the second prestigious playground in the European arena. At this time, MU ranked 16th in the rankings with 39 points and Tottenham stands right behind with 1 less point.
And according to the format, the team won the final in Bilbao will join the group of excellent clubs attending the Champions League arena despite having poor domestic season. MU and Tottenham are of course no exception to becoming a team that has a bad performance in the domestic tournament but still has tickets to the Champions League.
In the framework of the article, there are still worse teams or worse than MU or Tottenham still gain the right to attend the most prestigious arena in Europe. Let’s take a look at the names on this list.
The first and most recent are West Ham, the Conference League champion in the 2022/23 season. However, in the Premier League arena, everything did not follow the expectations of NHM. At that time, The Hammers won 14 out of 15 matches in the continental tournament and won the championship after a 2-1 dramatic victory over Fiorentina in the final in Prague. In contrast, they only won 11 in 38 Premier League matches and only 6 points above groups.
Inter Milan, the team won the right to play the Champions League final this season and is still racing to win the Serie A with Napoli. However, in the 1993/94 season witnessed the worst achievement of the club history and was the second lowest achievement that a team achieved in the domestic league when winning a major European title. Specifically, Inter Milan won the UEFA Cup but in the Italian league arena they only reached the 13th target in the rankings.
In Germany once witnessed Schalke, the UEFA Cup champion in the 1996/97 season but underwent the Bundesliga campaign was extremely pathetic. The “Green Emperor” dropped from the 5th place to the 12th after winning only one victory in the last 12 matches of the season.
Looking a little further is Arsenal, the team has 3 consecutive seasons winning the title of the Premier League and has just been eliminated in the Champions League semi -final this season. However, the 1969/70 season witnessed the London Gunners winning the Intertoto Cup (Fair Cup) in the 1969/70 season but in the UK First Division (current Premier League), they only finished the 12th destination. It should be emphasized that Arsenal only had two worse rankings in the league – 16th place in the 1974/75 and 17th season 1975/76 when they did not attend the European Cup.
