EPL Match Preview: Manchester City vs Tottenham

Manchester City FC:

The citizens are coming back into action after hammering Sporting CP. In their recent UCL clash, Manchester City slammed 5 past the Sporting CP's defence. Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and Raheem Sterling were all on the scoresheet. Pep Guardiola's side is nine points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, but the Reds do have a game in hand, so the Manchester outfit cannot afford to lose. Currently unbeaten in 14 matches out of their 15 so Manchester City will be looking to get the much-needed 3 points. In the Premier League, the citizens successfully achieved a 4-0 scoreline against Norwich City.

Tottenham Hotspur:

The Spurs are looking to get closer to the top 4 finish. A win will take Antonio Conte's men to push Arsenal from 5th and take the spot. Antonio Conte's side currently sits eighth in the table, seven points behind fourth-placed Man United, but they have three games in hand on the Red Devils, so a top-four finish is certainly still achievable, even if their recent form has been disappointing. In their last 2 matches, Tottenham Hotspur has failed to win a match as they lost back-to-back against Wolves and Southampton. So it will be a tough fixture up ahead to get the win.

Manchester City vs Tottenham: Recent Team Form in EPL:

Manchester City:

0-5 win over Sporting CP
0-4 win over Norwich City
0-2 win over Brentford

European treble winners in men's football history

Till now, 9 European clubs (Under UEFA) have managed to win a treble, which includes the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the UEFA Champions League/UEFA Europa League.

European treble winners in men's football history

In football, a team wins a treble when they win three major trophies in a single season. Winning the continental treble means winning the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the main continental trophy, for UEFA, which is the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.

Though winning the Europa League is also considered a treble, it is not accepted wholeheartedly by the pundits and fans as winning the UEFA Champions League. 

Till now, 9 European clubs have been able to win the continental treble. Before we discuss all the European treble winners in men's football history, we must know about the types of Trebles we have in football. 

Barcelona is the only club to win multiple trebles with both their men's and women's team, completing the feat in 2024.

Continental treble

This is considered the actual treble in football where a team go on to win the national league, national cup competition and the main continental trophy. Celtic Football Club in 1966-67 became the first team in football history to win a Continental treble. Till now, 22 men's teams have won the Continental Treble, with 30 being the total number of times. In Europe, only 8 football teams have been able to accomplish the feat.

Domestic treble

Generally, for most of the footballing nations, winning a domestic treble is not possible since they do not allow first-division teams to win any secondary cup or league. A domestic treble includes winning three national competitions, including the national league title, the national cup competition, and one secondary competition. Countries which were under British or French possessions once allowed domestic trebles to happen. Celtic with 8 domestic trebles, and Rangers, with 7, are the most successful teams when it comes to winning domestic trebles.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final: Spurs lift the Europa League 2025 beating United by 1-0; First trophy for Son Heung-Min | sportzpoint.com

Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United in the 2024-25 Europa League final at the San Memes Stadium.

Both teams have endured disastrous Premier League campaigns, currently reeling at 16th and 17th respectively, and face the threat of missing out on European football altogether, unless they win this final.

For United coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season, it’s a last shot to salvage a turbulent spell marked by 18 Premier League losses; a club record. Tottenham, meanwhile, haven’t lifted silverware since 2008, and their 21 league defeats this season mark a new low. Coach Ange Postecoglou, in his second year, sees this as a vital chance to finally deliver on Spurs’ long-unfulfilled potential.

Europa League Final: When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

As they gear up to face Manchester United in the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League Final, one question echoes loudly: When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

Europa League Final: When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

Tottenham have been undergoing a phase of rebuild with Antonio Conte now at the helm of the club, tasked with bringing silverware and trophies to North London. Though Harry Kane has lifted plenty of individual goal-scoring awards for himself, it's been a while since the Lilywhites have won a trophy of their own.

As they gear up to face Manchester United in the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League Final, one question echoes loudly: When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

When was the last time Tottenham won a trophy?

Tottenham's last trophy was the 2008 Carling Cup, when they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley. It marked the fourth time that Tottenham were crowned League Cup winners.

Juande Ramos' Tottenham team beat crosstown rivals Arsenal 6-2 in the semi-final, earning them a clash against the Blues. Chelsea were defending champions of the trophy, having beaten Arsenal in the 2007 final.

Didier Drogba scored a free-kick in the first half to give Chelsea the lead going into the break, but Dimitar Berbatov scored a penalty in the 70th minute after a Wayne Bridge penalty to even out the scoreline. Jonathan Woodgate then netted three minutes into extra-time after converting a free-kick taken by Jermaine Jenas that clinched the victory.

It was Tottenham's first trophy in nine years, and it was an especially important one. With it, they secured UEFA Cup qualification for the next season – something that they had failed to do through their Premier League campaign as they finished 11th in the table.

Tottenham fallen short in big moments many times

  • 2018/19 Champions League Final : Lost to Liverpool
  • 2020/21 EFL Cup Final : Lost to Manchester City

Since that 2008 triumph, Spurs have come close—but silverware has eluded them. Despite talented squads and high-profile managers, including Mauricio Pochettino and José Mourinho, Tottenham have consistently fallen short in big moments.

Europa League Final: Tottenham to rewrite their narrative

Now under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham are just 90 minutes away from rewriting their narrative. With a dynamic, attacking style and a renewed mentality, the current squad has navigated the Europa League with grit and flair.

The Europa League title wouldn’t just be a symbol of long-awaited glory—it would also secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, a crucial reward after an inconsistent domestic campaign.
