Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) finally held the major championship trophy he had longed for.
Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on Tuesday (Korea time). The winner of the final goal was Brennan Johnson.
This helped Tottenham to lift the trophy for the first time in 17 years since the 2007/08 League Cup, and captain Son Heung-min also paid off as he won his first major championship since his professional debut. This tournament was all the more special in that it could be his last major trophy challenge of his career.
Having joined Tottenham in 2015, Son has scored 173 goals and 101 assists in 453 official matches. After Harry Kane (current Bayern Munich) left the team, he has taken over the captain's armband and is now playing as the mental center of the team.
In the meantime, his personal performance has been spectacular, but he has never won a championship in his team career. He has been runner-up several times, including the Premier League (2016/17), the Champions League (2018/19), and the Carabao Cup (2020/21), and has never been able to connect with the trophy.
On this day, however, Son Heung-min, who finally lifted the trophy, smiled brightly as if he had washed away his anger.
BBC, a British public broadcaster, also highlighted Son's first win. "He has never won a title in Germany's Hamburg, Leverkusen, and the Korean national team," the media said. "This Europa League victory is Tottenham's first trophy in 17 years and Son's first major championship in his career."
Citing Son's interview with TNT Sports, the BBC said, "Right now, I'm the happiest man in the world. Now, I'm a legend." With a smile, Son said, "I won the title after 17 years with some amazing players. Maybe I'm a legend of Tottenham now." 카지노
"There were a lot of tough moments throughout the season, and our players were united until the end," he said. "I dreamed of this game every night for the past week, but it finally became a reality. Today will be a day that I will never forget. Maybe I will miss my flight tomorrow!" he concluded with a smile.
