The rooster reigns supreme.

Ahead of the Europa League final, both Manchester United and Tottenham suffered defeats in the Premier League. However, this is likely a tactic by both teams to "keep their cards close to their chest" before the crucial match for the Europa League title, which also guarantees a place in the Champions League next season.

In the Premier League, both Man United and Tottenham have nothing left to play for, making them easy targets for their opponents at this point. After securing their places in the Europa League final, both the Red Devils and the Spurs have been consistently giving away points to their rivals in recent rounds.

This could be seen as a tactic to lull their opponents into a false sense of security before a crucial match, because winning means becoming champions, while losing means empty-handed. Another factor favoring Man United in this tournament was luck. On their journey to the final, they successively overcame their opponents with significant assistance from good fortune. Therefore, the "Red Devils" were somewhat confident of winning this cup contest. However, against a Tottenham side with solid defense and effective counter-attacks, the "Red Devils" missed out on the title.

On Tottenham's side, the "Spurs" have also accepted defeat in the Premier League after a series of consecutive losses, in order to focus on winning the Europa League. The head-to-head history favors Tottenham, as they are unbeaten against Manchester United in all six recent encounters. In a match where Tottenham knew their opponent very well, the "Spurs" took a risk and launched a strong attacking game from the start. Against a lackluster Manchester United, the "Spurs" overcame the "Red Devils" with a 1-0 victory to lift the trophy at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao's home stadium).

The match lived up to its nature as a final, with both teams giving their all to conquer the championship. After the opening whistle, both teams entered the game with high spirits, delivering an incredibly exciting match for the spectators. With unwavering determination, both English teams created a top-class contest at the Estadio San Mamés.

However, the difference wasn't made until near the end of the first half. In the 42nd minute, Bruno Fernandes made a misplaced pass, and the Tottenham players seized the opportunity to launch a quick counter-attack.

From a cross from the left wing, Luke Shaw also appeared confused in marking Brennan Johnson. The ball bounced off the defender before Johnson finished from close range to score against the "Red Devils".

In the second half, Manchester United launched an all-out attack, with the ball mostly in Tottenham's half. However, finding the back of the net remained completely ineffective for Man United. Despite dominating possession, their attack was stalled, and the Red Devils had to accept defeat against Tottenham, ending a disastrous season.

With their victory over Manchester United in the final, Tottenham deservedly won the Europa League, securing a place in the prestigious Champions League next season. Congratulations to Son Heung-min and his teammates, and condolences to Ruben Amorim and his team. Hopefully, they will quickly recover from this defeat and return stronger next season.
