Tottenham Hotspur has emerged winner of the 2025 UEFA Europa League Cup following 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
The North London club edged past the Red Devils through Brennan Johnson’s first half goal to earn their first European title in over five decades and first major trophy in 17 years.
The win saw Spurs’ under-fire head coach Ange Postecoglou fulfilled a promise to deliver silverware in his second season at Spurs.
Postecoglou, who said he would “never be a clown” in his pre-match address, brought smiles and unbridled joy to the faces of the 15,000 official, and many unofficial, Tottenham fans in Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium.
In addition to following the lead of Newcastle and Crystal Palace in making this a season of glory for clubs who rarely, if ever, win a trophy, Tottenham are also set to benefit from a £100m windfall after qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
