BBC Sportâs Ask Me Anything team have been answering European football-related questions. Hereâs one about all-English finals.
There have been five previous all-English European finals in the past. Tottenham v Manchester United is set to be the sixth.
The first was Wolves v Tottenham in the Uefa Cup final in 1972.
There wasnât another one until 36 years later, when Manchester United faced Chelsea in the 2008 Champions League final.
In 2019, there were two all-English finals â Chelsea v Arsenal in the Europa League and Tottenham v Liverpool in the Champions League.
And Manchester City and Chelsea faced each other in the 2021 Champions League final.

Man Utd team news
Tottenham v Man Utd (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Manchester United have injury issues of their own going into Wednesday evening's final but do have a number of players that could make a comeback just in the nick of time.
Manager Ruben Amorim has just one confirmed absentee for the match - defender Lisandro Martinez, who has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
Forward Joshua Zirkzee was also confirmed as out for the season by Amorim in April, however, he trained in full on Tuesday morning and could play a part.
The defensive quartet of Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Jonny Evans and Diogo Dalot have all been absent in recent weeks through injury, but all were given a chance to play in Bilbao.
Of the four, Yoro and Dalot were in full training on Tuesday morning.
Spurs team news
Tottenham v Man Utd (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Ange Postecoglou has dealt with injuries all throughout the 2024-25 season and unfortunately for him, that theme continues going into Wednesday evening's Europa League final.
Five players are already definitely confirmed as out for the all-English affair - Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Dane Scarlett and Timo Werner - all of whom remain on the sidelines until next season.
Midfielder Lucas Bergvall was also expected to be out with a foot injury, but there are rumblings that he could be involved.
When asked about his availability on Friday, Postecoglou said: "It is still the same sort of timeframe. He was never a long-term one, but he has literally just got out of the [protective]boot and taken his first tentative steps on the grass; he wonât be available [for Friday's defeat at Aston Villa]."
Pape Matar Sarr picked up a knock in the defeat to Villa last week but is expected to be fit to play.

BBC Sport journalist in Bilbao
We're here in the centre of Bilbao and have just met these two Spurs fans, Levi Ripley and Shannon Miller.
They've travelled from Barnsley, it's taken 24 hours, Dover to Calais, then down to Bilbao in a Fiat 500. Cosy? Yes, and itâll have to be because thatâs where theyâre sleeping as well.
They say what theyâve saved on the journey and hotel prices, theyâve just spent on a ticket and theyâre confident itâll be worth it.

This game feels like a tough one to call, doesn't it?
Both teams will have expected to be fighting for silverware at the start of the season, but on the back of a strong league campaign.
With one game of the Premier League season remaining, Manchester United are 16th in the table, one point and one place better off than opponents Spurs.
Yet both sides have parked their domestic form to battle their way to the Europa League final.
We will try to shed some light on how they did that - starting with their routes to Bilbao...

'Never any guarantees' with 50,000 to 80,000 people travelling
Tottenham v Man Utd (Wed, 20:00 BST)
So how many supporters are expected to travel to Bilboa for Wednesday's Europa League final?
Well the head of UK football policing, Chief Constable Mark Roberts, told BBC Sport that it could be between 50,000 to 80,000.
âThere are never any guarantees [it all goes smoothly] when youâve got 50,000 to 80,000 people travelling, thereâs high emotions, there will be quite a few people drinking, but I think everything that can be done to make sure itâs a safe, secure and enjoyable event is in place.
"We are working with a police force who want to set that style and tone. Uefa are really keen to make sure this goes very well. They are committed to making sure English fans have a good time."
Chief Constable Roberts added: "Any major event comes with significant risks, any final with that number of people attracts issues just because of the sheer numbers. I think there's a real willingness and desire on behalf of everyone, particularly Uefa and the hosts. English fans have had really negative experiences through no fault of their own in a couple of finals."
A two-day journey to Bilbao
Tottenham v Man Utd (Wed, 20:00 BST)
BBC Radio 5 Live
BBC Radio 5 Live spoke to one Manchester United supporter about the mammoth journey they're making to Bilbao to get to the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday.
"Weâve had about half-an-hour sleep, we left Manchester at half 10 [Monday night] and met at the local pub and then left there at quarter to three in the morning [on Tuesday].
"We're now outside London heading to Dover, [from there] to Calais on the ferry, from Calais a nearly nine-hour coach ride to Bordeaux and we'll stay over night, and then travel from Bordeaux to Bilbao in the morning for another four hours.
"Bordeaux do nice wine and itâs a lot cheaper. Itâs cost about £350 to come on the coach whereas the flights were £900, so weâve done okay, itâs just a long journey.
"But the coach is very quiet and itâs quite nice, itâs all United fans on the coach and I thought theyâd all be drinking and singing, but itâs been peaceful."
