2019–20 → | |
The2018–19 UEFA Europa League was the 48th season of Europe's secondary clubfootball tournament organised byUEFA, and the 10th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to theUEFA Europa League.
Thefinal was played at theOlympic Stadium inBaku, Azerbaijan,[2] between English sidesChelsea andArsenal. It was the first Europa League final to feature two teams from the same city, and marked the first time all four teams in European club competition finals were from the Premier League, withLiverpool andTottenham competing in theChampions League final. Chelsea defeated Arsenal 4–1 and earned the right to play against Liverpool, the winners of the2018–19 UEFA Champions League, in the2019 UEFA Super Cup. As winners, Chelsea would also have been qualified for the2019–20 UEFA Champions League group stage; however, since they had already qualified after finishing third in thePremier League, the berth reserved was given to the third-placed team of the2018–19 Ligue 1 (Lyon) – the 5th-ranked association according to next season's access list.[3]
For the first time, thevideo assistant referee (VAR) system was used in the competition, where it was implemented in the final.[4]
As the title holders of the Europa League,Atlético Madrid qualified for the2018–19 UEFA Champions League, although they had already qualified before the final through their league performance. They were unable to defend their title as they advanced to theChampions League knockout stage, and were eliminated byJuventus in theround of 16.
On 9 December 2016, UEFA confirmed the reforming plan for the UEFA Champions League for the 2018–2021 cycle, which was announced on 26 August 2016.[5][6] As per the new regulations, all teams that are eliminated in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds will get a second chance in the Europa League.
213 teams from all 55UEFA member associations participated in the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League. The association ranking based on theUEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[7][8]
For the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2017UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2012–13 to 2016–17.[10]
Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

In the default access list, originally 17 losers from the Champions League first qualifying round were transferred to the Europa League second qualifying round (Champions Path).[11][7] However, one fewer loser would be transferred since the Champions League title holders already qualified for the group stage via their domestic league. Therefore, only 19 teams entered the Champions Path second qualifying round (one of the losers from the Champions League first qualifying round would be drawn to receive a bye to the third qualifying round).[12]
In addition, originally three losers from the Champions League second qualifying round (League Path) were transferred to the Europa League third qualifying round (Main Path).[11] However, one fewer loser would be transferred since the Europa League title holders already qualified for the group stage via their domestic league. As a result, the following changes to the access list was made:[12]
| Teams entering in this round | Teams advancing from previous round | Teams transferred from Champions League | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preliminary round (14 teams) |
| |||
| First qualifying round (94 teams) |
