Founded in 1901, Brighton defeated Wigan 2-1 in 2017 and entered the top league, the EPL, after 34 years. And six years later, as a mid-level dark horse, it has risen to a team that boasts the fourth highest score in the league.
Brighton have a lot at stake in their remaining two games with this. Currently, the schedule with Manchester City and Aston Villa is left. The match against 7th place Villa is the most important, and even if you win or draw here, you can confirm 6th place and go to the Europa League. Of course, even if everyone loses, the chances are high as they are far ahead in terms of goal difference.
After being relegated from the first division in 1983, Brighton promoted their first EPL promotion in 2017 after 34 years, and advanced to their first European match in 2023. Romance and emotion coexist in their actions.
Brighton also said on its official website, “After winning against Southampton, we had the biggest party after promotion in 2017. At the time of promotion, the fans would not have expected us to go to the European competition six years later,” he said. “We have qualified for the Europa Conference League and will fight for a place in the Europa League. I will not be satisfied with this and will compete with the goal of the Europa League.”
Meanwhile, on the day Brighton had a party, Tottenham Hotspur, who fell to 8th place, cried. As a result, the Europa League entry was frustrated. Now all that remains is the Europa Conference League, but even this is not easy. The gap with Villa in 7th place is 1 point. Destiny is decided on the last day.
If Tottenham fails to qualify for the Europa Conference League, the record for European competition will be cut for the first time in 13 years since the 2009-10 season. The worst moment to worry about the mass departure of key players such as Harry Kane and Son Heung-min may come soon.
