Manchester United and Tottenham, no matter who wins the Europa League championship, will break a gray record for Sevilla

Is the Premier League too strong or La Liga too weak? Before the game, someone thought that Manchester United could play Athletic Bilbao 7:1 in two rounds? This output is only a little short of that, just to compare with Bayern invited Barcelona to have a seven-game joy back then. Athletic Bilbao has always adhered to the character of a second-tier team in La Liga. Even the top European teams will take some effort to win, let alone a double kill in two rounds?

Indeed, the Premier League is too introvert now. Comparing horizontally by league rankings, Liverpool and Arsenal can compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid, Manchester City is definitely better than Atletico Madrid, and in the future, La Liga may be even worse. Isn’t it said that the Europa League is an event that reflects the overall strength of a league? So, isn’t this season equivalent to revive the Premier League? After the 18-19 season, the Europa League once again saw the finals being led by Premier League teams. Last time it was Arsenal and Chelsea, this time it was Manchester United Hotspur.

Speaking of the Europa League, we cannot go around a team - Sevilla.

Even if we included the previous League Cup, Sevilla is the team with the most championships in Europa League history, 7 times. Although it is incomparable to Real Madrid's 15 Champions League championships, don't forget that after the Europa League is reorganized, it is actually one level lower than the Champions League. Who will play in the Europa League if you can play in the Champions League? Therefore, it is not easy for Sevilla to accumulate so many championships while running both ends of the Champions League and the European Union. After the restructuring, Real Madrid has three consecutive Champions League titles, and Sevilla has three consecutive Europa League titles. And the most terrifying thing about Sevilla is that even if they are already declining, they can still handle the European Union. Take the Europa League finals from 22 to 23 for example, Sevilla is almost the same and still defeated Roma in the final. Of course, it is not unreasonable for Mourinho to complain about the referee being unfair; but this also reflects the fact that Sevilla can really take all the Europa League, not just take all the opponents.

Okay, let's compete with Sevilla in the 22nd to 23rd seasons. In fact, although Sevilla won the seventh Europa League championship this season, as mentioned earlier, they are declining. They also set a historical record in the Europa League that season, but it was a gray record. This season, whether Manchester United wins the championship or Tottenham wins the championship, it will break this gray record.

The record is that the Europa League champion only won the 11th place in the league that season, the lowest in history.

Maybe some people say that winning the European Championship is the bottom line, what are the rankings in the league? Just like Sevilla, so what if it is ranked 11th? Can't you play in the Champions League next season?

But this just reflects that Seville and the wealthy are insulated. The wealthy families do not allow themselves to bet on European games, but they are completely disguised in the league. Yes, Real Madrid also gave up the league by betting on the Champions League, but their so-called giving up is moderate, at least, it will not fall out of the Champions League zone. In my impression, Real Madrid only fell out of the Champions League in the 1990s to 2000s, but at that time, their lineup was not that strong.

Besides, a European champion is ranked downstream in the league. Isn’t it shitty to say it? People can tell at a glance that you are trying to make a fuss and betting on everything, not at all calm.

Sevilla is already too much. Look at Manchester United and Tottenham this season, they have a lot more fun. Strangely, Manchester United and Tottenham are like a pair of brothers in distress this season, inseparable from each other, currently ranked 15th and 16th in the Premier League. Why is it said that one of them will definitely break Sevilla's record? On the one hand, Manchester United is now 12 points behind Fulham, who is 11th place, and there are three rounds of the game. Even theoretically, they cannot catch up with Fulham. On the other hand, Manchester United and Tottenham have long given up on the Premier League, and it is meaningless to chase many points. All their thoughts are focused on the Europa League finals. In extreme cases, they may even be caught up by West Ham United and eventually ranked 17th. Imagine the noble Europa League champions, who go home and look at their household registration books, is actually ranked 17th in the Premier League and has just climbed out of the relegation zone. Is this a slap in the face of the Premier League or the Europa League? Europa League champion is so worthless?

At least, Sevilla's gray record will definitely be broken this season. The only suspense is how much this record can be expanded. However, I am quite envious of Manchester United or Tottenham. A team that ranks only a little higher than the relegation zone can play in the Champions League next season. Is the threshold for the Champions League going to be renovated?
