The Europa League offers European clubs that didn’t make it to the Champions League a chance to compete for a major continental trophy.
Although not as prestigious as the Champions League, the Europa League remains significant as winning it can secure a team a spot in the Champions League.
At the 2024 final, Atalanta triumphed over Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-0 scoreline in Dublin, marking their first major trophy win since 1963, with Leverkusen experiencing their sole defeat of the season in that match.
For the 2024/25 season, English clubs Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are participating in the Europa League, as the competition enters a new chapter alongside the expanded Champions League.
