What happened in the first legs of the Quarter-Finals

AC Milan vs Roma | 1-3

Roma are leading by 1-0 in this fixture. Gianluca Mancini's early first-half goal was enough for De Rossi's side to stop AC Milan at the San Siro. Milan dominated possession and took more shots but wasn't clinical enough to score the equalizer and winner before going into a hostile away ground.

In the second leg, despite going down to 10 men, Roma secured a 2-1 victory to enter the semi-finals. Gianluca Mancini scored a header and Paulo Dybala's stunning strike proved good enough for them against AC Milan.

Benfica vs Marseille | 2-2: Marseille win 4-2 on penalties

Benfica won the home leg by 2-1 against a struggling Marseille side. Rafa Silva provided the home side with an early lead and Di Maria then doubled the lead in the second half. Benfica did dominate possession but couldn't kill the game and Aubameyang scored in the 67th minute to give Marseille something to fight for. But, the home side held upon the narrow lead and now they are heading in Marseille with that. 

The second leg saw Faris Moumbagna levelling things up for Marseille in the 79th minute. But, then it was all about Pau Lopez who saved Antonio Silva's shot in the penalty shootout to take them to the semi-finals. Di Maria missed a penalty for Benfica too. 

Bayer Leverkusen vs West Ham United | 3-1

Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen are playing on a different level. It looked like West Ham would stop the German Invincibles at their turf but Hoffman and Boniface turned things late in the game, scoring 2 goals to finish the home leg on high. West Ham created nothing at the Bay Arena while Leverkusen took 33 shots, and 13 were even on target. West Ham would consider themselves lucky that they didn't concede more than two before going into their home leg.

Jeremie Frimpong scored a late equaliser in the second leg to ensure the new Bundesliga Champions' winning run. That goal was enough to take Xabi Alonso's men to the semi-finals. 

Their run for the European treble continues. 

Liverpool vs Atalanta | 1-3

Atalanta beat Liverpool at Anfield by 3-0 in the first leg. Gianluca Scamacca struck twice as Atalanta stunned Liverpool at home. The visitors took the lead after Scamacca's grounded shot got past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in the 38th minute. Scamacca scored his second in the second half while Pasalic came up with the third of the night to take a healthy lead ahead of the second leg at home.

In the second leg, Mohamed Salah gave hope to the Liverpool fans with an early goal from the penalty spot, but the first-leg lead proved to be a huge one for them. Atlanta qualified for any UEFA semi-finals for the second time in their history.

In the world of football, few clubs stand out like Chelsea FC. Their trophy cabinet tells a story of incredible success, proving that they have truly won it all!

With their recent UEFA Conference League 4-1 victory over Real Betis, Chelsea completed a historic sweep of all major UEFA titles.

Here is trophy cabinet of Chelsea FC that defines their successful journey in the football world. Take a look.

European Royalty: Conquering the Continent

Chelsea have battled across the continent's most prestigious stages and won every major UEFA club trophy, a feat few clubs can claim.

Their crowning achivements including 2 UEFA Champions League titles, notable defeating Bayern Munich [1-1 (4-3 pens)] in 2012 and Manchester City (1-0) in 2021.

Beyond the Champions League, Chelsea also lifted the UEFA Europa League twice (2013, 2019), and the now-defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1971, famously against Real Madrid in the replay, and also in 1998.

Additionally, two UEFA Super Cup victories (1998, 2021) further highlight their continental dominance.

The collection was completed with their 2025 UEFA Conference League triumph, where Chelsea FC beat Real Betis 4-1 in the final.

The domestic dominance of Chelsea FC

Beyond their European conquests, they have also established as masters of England by securing highest domestic honors.

The Blues clinched the First Division/Premier League title and impress six times (1955, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2015, 2017) along with eight FA Cup victories (1970, 1997, 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2018). This makes them the competition's most successful team.

Their domestic dominance also extends to League Cup, which they have won five times in the following years: 1965, 1998, 2005, 2007, 2015.

Completing the Set: Global and Historic Honors

Chelsea's trophy cabinet truly lives upto the "won it all" status by having a collection of unique, historical, and global titles.

The FIFA Club World Cup win over Palmeiras (2-1) in 2021, made them only London club to win the Champions League as well as FIFA Club WC.

Further adding to their phenomenal collection are four Charity/Community Shield triumphs (1955, 2000, 2005, 2009), which mark their traditional early-season dominance.

As we move down to the final count, Chelsea also holds two Full Members' Club Victories (1986, 1990).

A look at Chelsea's Trophy Cabinet:

The English Premier League, or the Premier League, has been the best football league in Europe for a long now. As per UEFA Club Coefficients, the Premier League is the best football league on the continent, with the best standard of football and competitiveness. 

The competitiveness not only makes it tough for teams to finish at the summit of the points table, but the battle for the UEFA Champions League spot also intensifies. This season, Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC, Manchester City, Chelsea FC, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League from the Premier League. 

This is the first time six teams from any league have qualified for the Champions League. Not only that, there is also a chance that another team can qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, depending on Chelsea's performance in the Conference League final this season.

This is the first time in Indian football history that an Indian player will represent a top-division English Premier League club men’s team.

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.

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.

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.
