The 54th edition of the Europa League has reached the semifinals. This second-tier European football league is one of the most important annual events in the football world. Four teams will be fighting for the champion title in the semifinals: Tottenham Hotspur (England), Bodø/Glimt (Norway), Athletic Bilbao (Spain), and Manchester United (England).
Tottenham Hotspur will host Bodø/Glimt on 1 May at their home base Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This will be the first leg of the semifinals stage.
Tottenham qualified for this season’s league phase after finishing the 2023/24 domestic Premier League in the fifth position. After playing eight match days, they qualified directly for the round of 16, bypassing the knockout phase play-offs, and continued their way to the semifinals.
Coming from the highest league of Norwegian professional football, Elitserien, Bodø/Glimt also qualified for the league phase. The accumulated results of eight matches in this phase led them to advance to the knockout phase play-offs. They reached the semifinals, which is unprecedented for a Norwegian team.

Right winger Brennan Johnson leads the team with 16 goals and 7 assists to his credit. He is followed by centre forward Dominic Solanke who has 13 goals and 8 assists. Two more notable players include attacking midfielder James Maddison and left winger Son Heung-Min, both with 11 goals each.
