MU recreates Leverkusen tragedy

MU lost the most important match of the season.

MU entered the 2024/25 Europa League final with an impressive unbeaten streak. With stable performance in the continental arena, many people believe that "The Red Devils will have a perfect ending to save the disappointing season in the Premier League.

However, Tottenham defeated MU with a minimum score of 1-0, causing coach Ruben Amorim's team to collapse on the threshold of glory.

MU's tragedy is very similar to Bayer Leverkusen's 2023/24 season. At that time, the German team also made the whole of Europe admire with an unbeaten streak that lasted from the Europa League group stage to the final. But then in the decisive match, Leverkusen unexpectedly lost 0-3 to Atalanta and missed out on the championship despite having made the whole continent bow their heads.

MU this season almost repeated Leverkusen's journey a year ago. They played convincingly in the Europa League, overcoming tough opponents to advance to the final. However, when facing the opportunity to win the only title of the season, MU collapsed. The goal conceded in the 42nd minute and the inability to finish in the second half made all the efforts of the "Red Devils" meaningless.

Tottenham did not dominate the game, but they showed remarkable character and composure. They defended tightly, took advantage of their opponents' mistakes and protected their advantage until the last minute, in the style of great teams in finals.

The strange similarity between MU and Leverkusen has led many to call this the "curse" of the Europa League when teams that have been undefeated all season stumble at the most important moment.

With this defeat, MU ended the season in bitterness and empty-handed. As for Tottenham, they touched a European title, opening a new memorable chapter under coach Ange Postecoglou.
