Your Complete Guide to the 2025 European Finals

The European football season ends in dramatic fashion with three continental finals across three iconic cities.

Manchester United and Tottenham battle for Europa League glory in Bilbao. Chelsea meet Real Betis in the Europa Conference League final in Wroclaw. And on the grandest stage of all, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan go head-to-head in the UEFA Champions League final in Munich.

With trophies and pride on the line, this is a defining time for players, coaches, and fans alike. Let’s break down each of the finals.

Europa League Final: Manchester United vs Tottenham

Date: Wednesday, 21 May Venue: San Mames Stadium, Bilbao Kick-off: 20:00 WAT

Two of England’s most inconsistent clubs are 90 minutes away from turning a dreadful domestic season into one remembered for European glory. Sitting 16th and 17th in the EPL table, this final is more than just a chance at silverware – it’s about redemption.

United, led by Ruben Amorim, have yet to lose a match in the Europa League this season – a rare bright spot in an otherwise nightmare campaign. Tottenham, meanwhile, have leaned on Ange Postecoglou’s expansive, high-pressing style to power past Frankfurt, Bodø/Glimt, and others.

But the biggest subplot? This is the fourth time the clubs will meet this season. Tottenham have won all three of the previous fixtures – including a 3-0 win at Old Trafford, a 1-0 at home, and a 4-3 thriller in the League Cup.

For Spurs, this is their first European final since the 2019 UCL final loss to Liverpool – and their best shot at ending a 17-year trophy drought. 

Whether it’s United’s history in Europe, or Spurs’ desire to finally end their silverware exile, this final promises tension, storylines, and the kind of desperation that makes for gripping drama.

United are unbeaten in Europe, but Spurs have won all three meetings this season. Who takes the trophy in Bilbao? Bet here with Bet9ja.

Conference League Final: Chelsea vs Real Betis

Date: Wednesday, 28 May Venue: Wroclaw Stadium, Poland Kick-off: 20:00 WAT

Chelsea entered the Europa Conference League as favourites and have lived up to the tag. Enzo Maresca’s side have won 11 of their 12 matches and scored a tournament-high 38 goals. They now stand 90 minutes away from completing the full UEFA trophy set – UCL, Europa League, and Conference League.

For Real Betis, this is historic. It’s their first ever European final, and they’ve taken the long route — fighting past Gent, Vitoria Guimaraes, Jagiellonia Bia?ystok and Fiorentina to get here. But don’t call them novices. Under Manuel Pellegrini, and with big-game players like Isco, Cedric Bakambu and Antony in the side, Betis are battle-tested.

Bakambu in particular has been clinical, netting seven goals in the tournament. Chelsea, though, boast far more depth and are peaking at the right time. Players like Nkunku, Dewsbury-Hall and Cucurella have stepped up, while Maresca’s Guardiola-influenced setup has clicked seamlessly in Europe.

This final could be about whether Betis can frustrate and strike – or whether Chelsea simply overpower them, as they have most of the Conference League campaign. But the omens could be good for Betis, no Spanish club has lost a European Final when meeting a foreign opponent since 2001…

UCL Final: PSG vs Inter Milan

Date: Saturday, 31 May Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich Kick-off: 20:00 WAT

The UEFA Champions League final. The biggest game in club football. And in 2025, it’s a fascinating matchup between PSG and Inter Milan – two sides who’ve grown as the season progressed, and now meet for the first time ever in a competitive fixture.

For PSG, this is a shot at redemption. No more Mbappe, no Neymar, no Messi – yet Luis Enrique has crafted a side that’s arguably more dangerous than ever. Dembélé, Vitinha and Bradley Barcola have flourished in a balanced system built on unity and possession. After knockout wins over Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, the Parisians arrive in Munich with real belief.

Inter, however, have been masterful. Their dramatic semi-final victory over Barcelona – including a 94th-minute equaliser and extra-time winner – summed up the incredible resilience of Simone Inzaghi’s side. It’s their second UCL final, in three years, and this time they believe it’s theirs to win.

“We’ve already beaten the best teams in Europe,” Inzaghi said. “One more night of perfection, and it’s ours.”

The contrast in styles couldn’t be greater. PSG’s 4-3-3 brims with fluid attacking energy, while Inter’s 3-5-2 prioritises shape and timing. Both have elite goalkeepers. Both have depth off the bench. The margins will be thin – the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Is this finally PSG’s year – or will Inter’s experience win the day in Munich? Bet on the UCL final with Bet9ja.
