There are three teams that won the championship with an unbeaten record in the UEFA Cup. Will Manchester United be the fourth?

It is hard to say whether the showdown between Tottenham and Manchester United is the "lowest in value and most water" Europa League or even the final dialogue of the European Cup in recent years. After all, when the 16th and 17th place in a league, that is, two teams near the relegation zone meet in the second-level final in Europe, this is indeed an unexpected result.

You can look back at the progress of Manchester United this season. Perhaps it is difficult for the title of "Caiji" to fall on him!

As the seventh team in Europa League history to advance to the finals with an unbeaten record, can Manchester United take advantage?

Looking at the history of the UEFA Cup, until this year's Manchester United, only 7 teams advanced to the final with unbeaten results: Benfica in the 13/14 season, after relegated to the Champions League, finally advanced to the final with 6 wins and 2 draws, but eventually lost to Sevilla to the penalty kick; Chelsea in the 18/19 season, with 5 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, with a total of 10 wins and 3 draws to win the championship. The Blues also became the first team in Europa League history to win the championship with an undefeated result; Inter Milan in the 19/20 season finally advanced to the finals with five consecutive victories, but eventually lost to Sevilla to finish second; Villarreal in the 20/21 season finally won the championship with an undefeated record of 7 wins and 2 draws after being relegated to the 20/21 season. Huang Qian also became the first team in Europa League history to win the championship with an unbeaten result from being relegated from the Champions League; in the 21/22 season, Frankfurt won 3 wins and 3 draws in the group stage, with a total of 7 wins and 6 draws. The French Eagles also became the third team in Europa League history to win the championship with an undefeated record; in the 23/24 season, Leverkusen advanced to the final with an undefeated record of 9 wins and 3 draws, but unfortunately, he finally lost Atlanta and failed to win the mini trio; in the 24/25 season, Manchester United became the seventh team in history to reach the 23/23 finals with an undefeated record of 9 wins and 5 draws.

So, if Manchester United is a bad person, this is indeed not rigorous enough. Moreover, the Red Devils, who scored a total of 35 goals in 14 games, averaged 2.5 goals per game. At the same time, they have never scored goals in a single game, and at least their stability in the UEFA Europa League is indeed commendable!

Although the unbeaten before the final is definitely commendable, it is only 50% chance of winning the championship in the end, which is not absolutely safe. Although 6 teams reached the Europa League final with unbeaten results, in the end, only Chelsea, Huang Qian and Frankfurt won the trophy as they wished. The 50% probability means that when such a team that is not low-key has reached the finals, their opponents will definitely do a good job of researching their tactics.

So, does this mean that if Manchester United wants to win in such a final, some of the conventional tactics of this season cannot be used?

There are ten matches with the National League in the history of the Europa League. It seems that when the teams with higher league rankings in the season have greater hope of winning the championship.

At least among the data that can be queried, the five opponents in the National League have met with each other since 1998 and the winning teams are the ones with higher rankings in the league that season.

And in the Premier League this season, Manchester United ranked 16th ahead of Tottenham by one point. Does this also mean that this has added some weight to Manchester United's championship?

Of course, in the recent European final between both sides, Manchester United and Tottenham were both losers--in the 20/21 Europa League final, the Red Devils lost to Huang Qian and only won the runner-up. But the result is different from today's, Manchester United ranked second in the Premier League and there was no pressure from the Champions League.

But this year's results are actually very similar to Manchester United in the 16/17 season - both coaches are Portuguese, and they failed to qualify for the Champions League in the league, and they also reached the finals from the group stage.

And will this be the second amulet for Manchester United to increase their chances of winning the championship?
