Will the Bundesliga teams miss the finals of the third-tier European competition in the 2024-2025 season?

In the 2024-2025 season, the Bundesliga teams suffered a complete defeat in the three major European competitions: the Champions League, the Europa League and the UEFA Europa League. All eight participating teams (five Champions League teams, two Europa League teams and one UEFA Europa League team) were eliminated in the semi-finals, setting a record for the worst performance in history. Last season, Dortmund and Bayern Munich reached the Champions League semi-finals, and Leverkusen reached the Europa League final. This season, the Bundesliga was defeated in all three European competitions, becoming the only league among the five major leagues to miss all finals. In sharp contrast, the Premier League, with Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea taking the final seats in the Europa League and the UEFA Europa League, highlighted the temporary downturn in the Bundesliga's competitiveness in Europe.

There are 6 finalists in the three-level European competitions, with 3 in the Premier League, 1 each in Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga. Only the Bundesliga team is absent from the five major leagues.

In the 2024-2025 season, 8 Bundesliga teams will participate in the European competition, including 5 teams in the Champions League, 2 teams in the Europa League and 1 team in the UEFA Europa League, and all of them failed to advance to the semi-finals.

Stuttgart: Group stage eliminated

Bayern: Quarterfinals
