Tottenham Hotspur have ended their 41-year European trophy drought by lifting the UEFA Europa League title.
The Europa League final, held in Bilbao’s San Mamés Stadium, featured an all-English showdown between Tottenham and Manchester United—two teams who are currently struggling in the Premier League, sitting 17th and 16th respectively with one game remaining in the season, Idman.biz reports.
The match, officiated by Felix Zwayer and a German refereeing team, was a tightly contested affair. Brennan Johnson’s goal in the 42nd minute proved to be the decider, securing a historic 1-0 victory for the London club.
This is Tottenham’s first European trophy since 1984, when they last won the UEFA Cup. Manchester United, meanwhile, were aiming to replicate their 2017 Europa League triumph.
Head-to-head stats had slightly favored Spurs in recent years, with 4 wins and 2 draws in the last six encounters since 2023—and they maintained their dominance tonight.
