Tottenham Hotspur clinched the Europa League title by defeating Manchester United in a thrilling all-English final at Bilbao’s San Mames on Wednesday night. A single goal was enough to seal the victory and spark wild celebrations among the Spurs camp.
This marks their first trophy since winning the English League Cup in 2008. Although they reached the Champions League final in the 2018–19 season, they returned empty-handed. This time, however, they finally broke that long-standing streak.
Not only did Spurs end their 17-year domestic trophy drought, but they also lifted a European trophy for the first time in 41 years. The win also secured a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Despite falling behind, Manchester United fought hard and created numerous chances. However, they couldn’t break through Tottenham’s resolute defense, and ultimately had to leave the pitch in disappointment, once again missing out on silverware.
