Lazio and Athletic Bilbao are currently level on points in the Europa League

At the moment, the league table looks like this: the Italian team Lazio is in the lead with 19 points and six wins out of eight games. In second place is Athletic Bilbao with a similar number of wins and games, but with a worse goal difference. Manchester United is in third place, one point behind the first two teams.

Last year, the Italian Atalanta won the Europa League, beating the German Bayer in the final with a score of 3:0. It is difficult to say who will be the winner this season, as the tournament competition remains extremely tense.

Since this year, the League has changed the format of the competition, abandoning the group stage in favor of the general stage. The number of participants has increased from 32 to 36 teams, which now compete in a single table. The top eight teams will receive a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals, while another sixteen will play for the remaining places. The remaining teams will finish their participation in European competitions.

England is represented by two clubs this year: Manchester United and Tottenham. Manchester is third in the table, while Tottenham is next in fourth place. The main intrigue is unfolding between the teams from Italy and Spain.

In March, Lazio made it to the quarterfinals of the Europa League, drawing with the Czech Viktoria (1:1) and beating them on aggregate (3:2). Athletic Bilbao also made it through this stage. The next games will be held in April.

In addition to participating in the Europa League, Lazio also plays in the Italian championship. On March 2, 2025, the Romans beat Milan 2-1, snatching victory thanks to a penalty in the 90+8th minute. They now look like the main contenders to reach the final, but the outcome of the tournament remains unpredictable. Support your team by buying tickets to the 2025 Europa League final.
