The European leagues in the 24-25 season have come to an end, but in this season's five major European leagues, a very strange scene has been born. A La Liga team has won 40 points but unfortunately relegated. However, in the Premier League, one team has only scored 38 points but can participate in the Champions League next season.

This La Liga team with high score relegation is Leganes, the league's newly promoted team. In the last round of the game, they must defeat Valladolid, who has been relegated early in order to have a glimmer of hope. Leganes also succeeded in doing it, and they defeated Valladolid 3-0 at home, increasing their league points to 40 points. But unfortunately, Leganes' relegation opponent Espanyol also won. Wu Lei's former club defeated Las Palmas 2-0 at home, locking in the last relegation spot. Leganes could only return to the Spanish Second Division with regret.

The team with 40 points in La Liga was unfortunately relegated, while the team with 38 points in the Premier League was complacent about entering the Champions League. In the second season led by Australian coach Post Koglu, Tottenham completely lost themselves. In the 38 rounds of the league, they only achieved a bad record of 11 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses. If the three Premier League teams have limited strength and have been relegated early, Tottenham, whose team is worth 810 million euros, might have to fight for relegation. In the end, Tottenham ranked 17th in the Premier League, with only relegated Leicester City, Ipswich and Southampton.

Although Tottenham's performance in the league can be called a "disaster", Tottenham Hotspur has been making rapid progress in the European arena. In the UEFA Cup, they eliminated Alkmaar, Frankfurt and Bode Shining one after another, and successfully met Manchester United in the final. In the subsequent Europa League final, Tottenham Hotspurs passed the whole game, with Johnson's counterattack goal, defeating Manchester United 1-0, ending the team's 17-year spell without a championship, and was lucky enough to get a ticket to the UEFA Champions League.

For Tottenham's "magic" season, coach Postkoglu said in an interview: "We won the first championship trophy in 17 years and successfully entered the Champions League. I think our performance is excellent! If you ask Tottenham fans at the beginning of the season if they are willing to accept such a result, I think no one will say no."
