English clubs have created European football history by taking all four final spots in the continent's two major competitions. Arsenal won in Valencia and Chelsea beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday to reach the Europa League final. That followed dramatic wins for Liverpool over Barcelona and Tottenham against Ajax in the Champions League. It is the first time all four finalists in Europe's top two competitions have come from one nation. There have only been two all-English finals before, with Tottenham beating Wolves in the 1971-72 Uefa Cup and Manchester United beating Chelsea in the 2007-08 Champions League. Spain had three teams in the finals of the two competitions in 2015-16, with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid contesting the Champions League trophy and Unai Emery's Sevilla winning the Europa League. "In England the level is very high and the Premier League is the best championship in Europe," said Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri. Arsenal and Chelsea will meet in Baku, Azerbaijan - 2,468 miles from London - on 29 May, with a Champions League spot at stake for the Gunners, who could become the fifth English side to qualify for next season's competition. Chelsea are already assured of their place after cementing a top-four finish in the Premier League. Baku's Olympic Stadium has a capacity of 68,700 but Uefa has allocated only 6,000 tickets to each club, a decision Arsenal described as "disappointing", adding that it presents them with "extreme difficulties" in how to allocate tickets". Tottenham and Liverpool will meet in Madrid on 1 June, with fans of those clubs also facing travel issues of their own, with direct flights from the UK reaching £1,300 and some airlines being accused of "profiteering". The Premier League clubs' achievements means there will also be an all-English Uefa Super Cup in August. That game will be played in Istanbul, Turkey https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48222997 16 Likes 1 Share

They should just bring the final to Wembley then... Spanish laliga May be tactically advanced than the premier league, but a premier league club can never let go of a two or three goal advantage to be knocked out of the competition.. When Messi and Ronaldo have retired it's going to be English dominance in Europe. They are the two wizards that make y'all think English league is overrated.. Y'all see what happened to Madrid when Ronaldo left.. And believe me when I say that if Messi isn't on the pitch for Barca they are just Fulham.. 242 Likes 13 Shares |

I have said this and I will say it again, LA liga defense is tooooo weak, how would arsenal from away come to your home and score 4 goals they can't even do it against Huddersfield, chai no wonder messi scores up to 50 goals a season and would be claiming goalscorer, if messi comes to EPL if he sees 25 goal a season, I will Bleep 5 turkey 56 Likes 3 Shares |
