Tottenham Hotspur have been crowned Europa League champions for the 2024/25 season after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final showdown.
Despite the defeat, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes finished the campaign on a personal high, sharing the competition's top scorer accolade. The Portuguese midfielder netted seven goals across 14 appearances throughout United's European journey.
Fernandes finds himself in distinguished company at the summit of the scoring charts, tied with two other prolific marksmen. Greek side Olympiacos's forward Ayoub El Kaabi also registered seven strikes, as did Kasper Høgh, who spearheaded Norwegian surprise package Bodø/Glimt's impressive Europa League campaign.
According to Statbet, this marks the first time since the 2018/19 season that the Europa League has featured a three-way tie for the top scorer award, highlighting the competitive nature of this year's tournament across different European leagues.
