Under their current manager, Manuel Pellegrini, the team has become a regular participant in European competitions. At their peak, they won the Copa del Rey and finished fifth in La Liga. However, last spring, they barely managed to secure seventh place. This season, even achieving that result seems challenging. Wins, losses, and draws are nearly evenly split. Still, they managed to avoid defeat against Barcelona, drawing 2-2 in added time.
In the Europa Conference League, the team performed well only during the qualification round, winning both legs against Kryvbas. However, in the group stage, they have managed to win only against Celje, while losing to Legia and Mladá Boleslav, and drawing with Copenhagen. In the previous round, they secured a 1-0 away victory against Petrocub.
The club is rightly considered the most successful in Finnish football, consistently winning championships in recent years, including the 2022-2023 seasons. However, this season they have struggled to maintain their dominance in the domestic Veikkausliiga, facing significant challenges during the final stretch.
In the summer, HJK lost to Panevėžys in the Champions League qualification. After being eliminated by the Lithuanians, they moved to the Europa Conference League, where they performed better. During the qualifiers, they defeated Montenegrin side Dečić and Faroese club KÍ Klaksvík. However, in the group stage, their only victory has been against Dinamo Minsk, while they have suffered losses.
