Football Legend Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has called on UEFA to ‘review’ Champions League qualification rules ahead of a possible Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur slated to hold by end of this month. The 2025 Europa League final appears to be an all-English clash between the Red Devils and Spurs.
Currently, Man United and Tottenham are occupying the bottom-half of the Premier League table
in the Europa League semi-final first leg played last Thursday that ended in a 3-0 against Athletic Bilbao, while Tottenham thrashed Bodo-Glimt 3-1 to put one foot in the Europa League final which will end come May 21.
According to the UEFA rule of the game, the winner of the Europa League this season will get an automatic qualify for next season’s Champions League, a policy Wenger disagrees with?
While speaking to beIN SPORTS when Wenger was asked if it was ‘right’ for the winners of the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League, he said: “No – they should qualify automatically for the Europa League again but not necessarily for the Champions League.
He added, “Especially when you are in the Premier League where already five teams qualify. I think it’s something [for UEFA] to think about and to review.”
