The Europa League group stage has ended with a major shake-up as 12 teams have been eliminated from this season’s competition. Clubs failing to advance include Young Boys, Sturm Graz, FCSB, Go Ahead Eagles, Feyenoord, Basel, RB Salzburg, Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Malmo, Utrecht, Nice, and Rangers.
Brann narrowly edged Young Boys to claim the final knockout play-off spot based on goal difference, leaving the Swiss side out. Under the new competition rules, these eliminated clubs, finishing between 25th and 36th on the log, will not participate in any other European tournaments this season, marking a significant change in UEFA’s format.
Fans and analysts are already debating the surprises and upsets, with some high-profile clubs unexpectedly failing to secure knockout stage spots. The next phase of the Europa League promises exciting clashes as the surviving teams vie for continental glory.
