Apart from the 1972 UEFA Cup Final won by Tottenham over Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the 1972–73 UEFA Cup Semi-final when Liverpool knocked out the holders, Tottenham on away goals, the only all-English tie in more than four decades of the UEFA Cup/Europa League up until 2019 took place in 2016, when arch-rivals Liverpool and Manchester United met; the Merseyside club progressed and were eventually runners-up in the competition. The first all-English final in the Europa League era, and only the third contest between two English clubs in the competition's history, took place in 2019, when Chelsea defeated London rivals Arsenal in Baku; based apart, the clubs' supporters had to travel almost each way to the event on the other side of the continent.
