Tottenham makes history.

(PLVN) - In addition to winning the championship, Tottenham has secured a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Early this morning (May 22nd), Tottenham defeated MU 1-0 in the Europa League final at the San Mames stadium (Bilbao, Spain).

Both teams entered the final having to put an end to a dismal Premier League season. They needed a win to advance to European competition the following season. Ultimately, Tottenham achieved this, confirming a resurgence under Postecoglou. In the Australian manager's 100th game, Spurs also reached 150 wins in European competitions.

Manchester United had more possession and more shots on goal than Tottenham. However, the excellent performance of goalkeeper Vicario and the lack of clinical finishing from their strikers meant the Red Devils failed to find the back of the net even once.

The only goal of the match came in the 42nd minute. Pape Sarr delivered a dangerous cross. Johnson's attempt to follow up was unsuccessful, but the ball deflected off Shaw and flew into the net, leaving Onana helpless.

A somewhat fortunate goal for Tottenham, it also reflected the rather lackluster quality of the 2024/25 Europa League final.

Defeat in the final ended Manchester United's 15-match unbeaten run in the Europa League. Furthermore, the Old Trafford club will miss out on European competition for the first time in 10 years. This could be considered the worst season in the history of the "Red Devils".

This is Tottenham's first Europa League title (Spurs previously won the UEFA Cup - the old name for the Europa League - in the 1971/72 and 1983/84 seasons) and their first trophy in 17 years.
