PREVIEW

Tottenham End 17-Year Trophy Drought with Europa League Victory Over Manchester United. Tottenham won the Europa League final, ending a 17-year trophy drought, with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United thanks to Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal. Ange Postecoglou's triumph fulfills his promise to deliver silverware in his second season, bringing joy to Spurs fans at Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium. Despite the win, Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham remains uncertain, but he leaves as a hero, joining the ranks of Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw with a European trophy. Tottenham’s victory secures a £100m windfall and Champions League qualification for next season, marking a season of glory for the club. Manchester United’s disappointing campaign continues with their worst season since 1973-74, raising doubts over coach Ruben Amorim’s future after a lackluster performance. United’s tactical decisions, including selecting Mason Mount over Alejandro Garnacho, backfired, with Bruno Fernandes subdued and the team lacking creativity. Tottenham’s only shot on target, a scruffy goal by Brennan Johnson, was enough to secure the win, despite a lack of further opportunities. Postecoglou, in his 100th game as Tottenham's boss, adds another trophy to his collection, following successes with South Melbourne, Brisbane Roar, Yokohama F Marinos, and Celtic. The seven minutes of stoppage time gave United hope, but they failed to capitalize on their chances, including a late header by Joshua Zirkzee and a shot by Leny Yoro off-target. Manchester United will miss out on European football next season for the second time since 1990, only playing in the Carabao Cup come August.
