Tottenham Hotspur has finally broken its 17-year trophy curse, defeating Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final. Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal proved to be the difference-maker, sparking jubilant celebrations among the 15,000 Tottenham fans in Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium in Spain.
The victory marks a triumphant moment for under-fire head coach Ange Postecoglou, who had promised to deliver silverware in his second season at Spurs. Despite speculation surrounding his future, Postecoglou will depart as a hero, joining the likes of Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw as European trophy winners with the north London giants.
The win also secures a significant £100m windfall for Tottenham, courtesy of next season’s Champions League qualification. Manchester United, on the other hand, endured a dismal season, with coach Ruben Amorim facing scrutiny over his tactics and leadership.
In a match between the two lowest-placed teams to ever contest a European final, Tottenham’s resilience and determination paid off. Guglielmo Vicario’s error in the second half nearly cost them dear, but Micky van de Ven’s acrobatic clearance ensured the Spurs’ lead held firm.
As Tottenham basks in the glory of its first trophy since 2008, Manchester United faces an uncertain future, with Amorim’s ability to turn the team around hanging in the balance.
