⚽ San Mamés Stadium is lighting up to host Manchester United and Tottenham in the all-English Europa League final at 10pm tonight. The Red Devils stormed into the final after a devastating 7-1 aggregate victory over Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals, while the Spurs secured their spot by dispatching the Norwegian Bodø/Glimt with a 5-1 aggregate victory.

Both clubs are desperate to end their European trophy drought, with United’s last continental triumph coming in 2017, lifting this very trophy. Tottenham’s wait has been even longer, stretching back to 1984 when they clinched the same cup under its previous UEFA Cup moniker. Tonight’s victor not only claims the silverware, but punches their golden ticket to next season’s Champions League — a much-needed perk given both teams’ disappointing Premier League campaigns this season, leaving United in 16th and the Spurs in 17th place.

Tonight will also see the continuation of the second legs of the Egypt Capital Cup quarterfinals, with the remaining semifinalists waiting to be determined after Ismaily and National Bank secured their spots yesterday.

Tonight’s matches will kick off at 8pm:

  • Petrojet vs. Ceramica Cleopatra — First leg score: 1-4
  • Haras El Hodoud vs. Enppi — First leg score: 0-2
