It’s 14 years scone the Europa League took over from the UEFA Cup.

Fulham provided a great story in the first year after the rebrand as Bobby Zamora’s goals helped them get all the way to the final.

The former Albion striker was joint third top scorer in the competition, his tally of six matching players such as David Villa of Valencia and Diego Forlan at Atletico Madrid.

Even UEFA’s own website recognises: “The Europa League was given a cool reception when it replaced the UEFA Cup.”

But, while some TV viewers were maybe getting a bit Euro-jaded by a Thursday evening after two nights of Champions League, the competition has produced some great moments.

It has also given different teams the chance to compete on the continent.

From an Albion perspective, Adam Lallana , James Milner and Joel Veltman have all played in finals in recent years, albeit for losing sides.

Pervis Estupinan was an unused sub for the Yellow Submarine when Villarreal won the trophy in 2021.

This is how the Europa League has progressed through the years.
