Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool will star in the Champions League final on June 1st. After five years of Spanish domination, the Premier revalues its actions by putting two of its teams in the dispute for the coveted UCL.
But the season can be more than outstanding if, in addition, Arsenal and Chelsea seal their passes to the Europa League final, which would certify the dominance of English football in the old continent.
In fact, neither 'Spurs' nor Liverpool had the optimism with which Gunners and Blues face the laps of their respective qualifiers. Both Pochettino and Klopp had to stun the public to get to the final. This would not be necessary either for Arsenal or Chelsea.
Arsenal's Emery achieved a valuable 3-1 result against Valencia, a Spanish rival, precisely, the nationality that has dominated the Old Continent for the last five years. Mestalla will be a difficult ground, but the English start as favorites according to the betting houses.
Chelsea, for their part, drew 1-1 in Germany, so the visit of Eintracht Frankfurt, a priori, should give them some advantage.
If this were to happen, it would be the first time in history that the same country has placed four representatives in the European Cup/Champions League and UEFA Cup/Europe League finals.
The closest football came to experiencing something like this was in the 2015-16 season. Real Madrid and Atlético reached the Champions League final, while Sevilla won the Europa League against Liverpool, the only non-Spanish of the four.
