Millwall are heading into the Championship play-offs with a spring in their step—and for good reason. Last Saturday's commanding 2-0 victory over an already-relegated Oxford United was exactly the statement the Lions needed to close out the regular season. It secured their highest league finish since 1993-94, a remarkable achievement that has fans dreaming of something even bigger.

In the race for automatic promotion, Millwall did everything they could. But in the end, Ipswich Town proved too strong to catch. The Tractor Boys held their nerve, leaving the Lions to focus on the next best prize: a shot at promotion through the play-offs.

Two brilliant goals from talisman Femi Azeez sealed the win against Oxford, showcasing the kind of form that has made him a fan favorite this season. Azeez, alongside Camiel Neghli, has been in scintillating form—and that attacking spark could be the difference-maker in the upcoming two-legged semi-final against Hull City.

Manager Alex Neil, a seasoned veteran of the Championship, has the squad largely fit and firing. There's a calm confidence around the Den, and for the first time in 25 years, Millwall are heading into the play-offs with genuine belief. This has been a season that has exceeded all expectations—a campaign built on grit, quality, and a never-say-die attitude.

So, is there still one more chapter to write in the 2025-26 story? We'll find out by around 22:00 BST next Monday evening. But one thing is certain: these Lions are ready to roar.
