Tottenham fate is exactly like Manchester United, where both Premier League representatives must fight hard to win the Europa League trophy, which provides a path to the Champions League next season. Through the Premier League route, both teams seem no longer able to finish in any European zone, which is why they must place the Europa League as their top priority.
Of course, other contestants also have equally big ambitions, which will make the competition even more competitive. Last season, the Europa League presented a big surprise with Atalanta emerging as the winner, perhaps the same story will repeat itself when we tend to think Manchester United or Tottenham will win it this time.
Both Manchester United and Tottenham are underperforming in the Premier League. That's why their target is to win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions league. But that's also very difficult.
Manchester United will play against lyon in the quarter-finals. lyon is a strong team. This team has performed well in the Europa League platform and even in the last few matches of Ligue 1, Lyon's players have been able to play well.
Tottenham is going to play against frankfurt. Frankfurt is one of the most renowned teams in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt has qualified for the quarter-finals by defeating a strong opponent like Ajax. So this team cannot be underestimated in any way.
I was also surprised by how well these two teams did in the Europa League, especially compared to how they did in the Premier League.
I'm looking forward to the match between United and Lyon and as a United fan, I hope they will win but I don’t have the psychology to be so arrogant, the club has the mentality of a wet dishcloth. United should just be ready to fight for every game as it comes
As for the match between Tottenham and Frankfurt, IMO it is 50/50, especially after Frankfurt's last match. The penalty shootout will decide the final result.
