Britain's TBR Football reported on the 28th (Korea time) 'Michael Owen claimed that one rule change implemented by the UEFA this season was crucial to Tottenham's Europa League victory'
On the 22nd, Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao, Spain. Tottenham, which finished 17th in the English Premier League (EPL), secured a place in the Champions League next season thanks to this victory.
Tottenham ranked the lowest in the league among the teams that won the European tournament. In response, Manchester United's Michael Owen described the Europa League final as "the worst soccer game he's ever seen."
Owen claimed that Tottenham would never have won if the teams that had been eliminated from the Champions League were still coming down to the Europa League.
Owen once said, `From a completely neutral standpoint, I look grimly at Tottenham.' `The only reason they won this tournament is because now the teams that have been eliminated from the Champions League are not coming down to the Europa League. Did they ever fight against a proper team?."
This season is the first year that Owen said the rules were applied.

In the previous season, eight teams that were eliminated from the Champions League group stage came down to the Europa League. According to the results of this season's Champions League, it is possible that competitive teams have joined the Europa League.
According to the media, the teams that will join the Europa League this season are Manchester City (England), Juventus (Italy), Sporting CP (Portugal), AS Monaco and Brest (France).
Owen's prediction may be correct, but ultimately it doesn't matter.
Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou is still under pressure to be replaced after winning the Europa League, but it is true that this victory has put Tottenham in a better position. Son Heung-min also re-established his career by breaking away from a terrible spectator. Tottenham is the team that has improved its competitiveness in the transfer market this summer by beating Manchester United.
