Tottenham are the worst European champions in history

Tottenham Hotspur have made history in European football as the lowest-ranked club in a national league to win a continental trophy.

Tottenham lost 1-4 to Brighton in the final round of the Premier League this season.

After the 38th round of the Premier League, the North London team finished the season in 17th place on the rankings. The heavy 1-4 loss to Brighton left the "Roosters" standing just one place above the relegation group.

With a 17th place in the Premier League, Tottenham became the lowest-ranked team in the national championship to ever win a major European club tournament, surpassing all precedents in history.

Even Tottenham and Manchester United, with a combined 39 domestic defeats, once made this year's Europa League final known as "a battle of clowns".

According to Opta data, since the second-tier European club competition was renamed the Europa League in 2009/10, no team ranked lower than 12th in their domestic league has reached the final or won the title.

In all UEFA club competitions since the turn of the century, no winner has finished lower than 15th in their domestic league. Sevilla (12th in La Liga) won the Europa League in 2023, while Fulham (also 12th in the Premier League) lost the 2010 final.

When West Ham won the Conference League in 2023, they finished 14th in the Premier League that season. This season also marked the first time a new format was introduced in the Europa League, with third-placed teams in the Champions League group stage no longer being relegated to the Europa League, which previously made the competition more difficult.

However, the Europa League victory was still a memorable milestone for Spurs, opening up hope for a future recovery, while also helping the club earn a ticket to next season's Champions League.
