In this match, Son Heung Min did not play from the start, only coming on to replace Richarlison when the Europa League title battle had more than 20 minutes (minute 67) left to end.

Although he did not create an attacking threat, Son helped Tottenham become more solid in defense and, together with his teammates, maintained the 1-0 lead over MU until the final whistle.

The Tottenham captain could not hold back his tears of happiness afterwards, feeling elated at tasting the title for the first time with the team.

Son Heung Min made history as the first Tottenham captain to lift a trophy in 17 years.

“ It feels amazing. This is what I have always dreamed of and today it has come true. I am the happiest man in the world right now.

I have been with Tottenham for 10 long years because I want to win titles with the team, something that no one has done for a long time.

When the season started, no one expected Tottenham to win the Europa League but now we have done it.

In the last 17 years, no captain has enjoyed this joy. Today it has come to me and my teammates. Now I can say that I am a legend of the club, let's enjoy it... ".

The 32-year-old added: “ When you look at the whole season, Tottenham had difficult times, but we were always united.

I feel a lot of pressure. I really want this trophy. For the past 7 days, I have dreamed about the match every night. Finally, Tottenham beat MU, won the Europa League. Today is the day to celebrate. I might miss my flight home… ”.
