European Trophy Treble Tip
Real Madrid clinched a record-extending 15th Champions League trophy at Wembley last season and they look good value to make it 16 in Munich next year.
They have won 15 of their 18 appearances in the final and have won six of the last 11 instalments, with their last defeat in the final of this competition coming back in 1981 against Liverpool.
Los Blancos’ storied history in this competition would have put them among my favourites for the trophy even before their business in the summer, but the transfer window has been kind to them and they head into the 2024/25 campaign with arguably the best squad in the world.
The world-class talents of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior remain instrumental to Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but the arrival of arguably the world’s best player in Kylian Mbappe could send them stratospheric.
As if that wasn’t enough, teenage sensation Endrick has also arrived in the Spanish capital and scored on his home debut against Real Valladolid.
Led by a manager who has won the Champions League a record five times with two separate teams, it would take a brave man to oppose Real Madrid.
Athletic Bilbao have clear motivation for a deep Europa League run – as their San Mames stadium will host the final in May. Spain star Nico Williams has hung around for another season dreaming of European glory with his boyhood club in their home ground.
Athletic won the Copa del Rey last term and they’re seen as the strongest Spanish side in the competition. With eight of the last 11 seasons seeing a Spanish winner of the Europa League, Athletic are standout value at 12/1.
Copenhagen made the Champions League last 16 earlier this year, making it through a group that contained Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Galatasaray. They finished four points off the Danish title in May and slipped into the Conference League as a result, where the change in format offers them a path to glory. After a decent summer transfer window and a strong domestic start, Copenhagen can make an impact in a competition which has a vulnerable trio of favourites.

How does the Europa League work?
Strap yourselves in – it gets complicated. Think of the Europa League as the Champions League’s little brother, or second-tier. There are a whole manner of ways in which teams can qualify.
In the big European leagues, the two or three teams best-finishing teams outside the Champions League qualification spots qualify for the Europa League. Entry can also be possible through winning a domestic cup. The lower the standard of the league, the fewer teams can qualify.
The tournament begins with four qualification rounds, usually filled with teams from small leagues, teams that finished outside the Champions League spots in the biggest European leagues, and 10 losers from the Champions League play-off round.
The official competition begins with a 48-team group stage, made up of 12 groups containing four teams each. In each group, each team plays each other twice, once home and once away. The top two qualify.
Then the knockout stage begins with the round of 32, where those who qualified from the group stage are joined by eight teams that finished 3rd in their Champions League groups. During the knockout stages there are two legs in each fixture, except the final, which is a stand-alone match.
Our Europa League tips cover all the games, from the group stage right through to the final.
