This victory helped "The Rooster" have their first major title after 17 years of waiting, since they won the English League Cup in the 2007-08 season. Notably, this is also the first European Cup in 41 years for Tottenham and the third time Spurs have won this tournament after two victories in 1972 and 1984.

More importantly, this victory also helped coach Ange Postecoglou's team return to the Champions League after a 2-year absence, even though they are only ranked 17th in the Premier League table this season after 37 rounds.

Not stopping there, the championship helped Tottenham book their name in the European Super Cup final to meet one of the two winners of the Champions League final, Paris Saint Germain or Inter Milan in Italy in August.

Meanwhile, according to Opta , defeating Man Utd in the Europa League final helped Tottenham set a record with the "Red Devils" when they defeated coach Ruben Amorim's team for the 4th time in the 2024-25 season, and became the 2nd team in history to do this after Everton in the 1985-86 season.

Before that, "The Rooster" enjoyed the joy of defeating Man Utd in two Premier League matches, and also eliminated their opponent from the quarter-finals of the English League Cup.

Not only that, coach Ange Postecoglou's team ended the 14-match unbeaten streak (9 wins, 5 draws) of the Old Trafford team in the Europa League this season, causing coach Amorim to declare that he was ready to leave the "hot seat" due to his players' poor performance.

This defeat marked the 20th time the "Red Devils" have suffered defeat in all competitions this season - the worst number since the 1973-74 season, the season when Man Utd were relegated from the top flight of England. Not stopping there, the Old Trafford team missed out on European competition for the first time in 10 years.
