Europa League Final: Tottenham – Manchester United 1-0

Bola.net – An epic night unfolded at San Mames, Bilbao. Tottenham Hotspur etched their name in gold by winning the 2024/2025 UEFA Europa League after defeating Manchester United 1-0 in a high-stakes final on Thursday (May 22) early morning WIB.

In what was billed as an All-English Final, one brilliant moment from Brennan Johnson at the end of the first half made all the difference between eternal joy and shattered dreams. A sharp cross from Pape Matar Sarr met Johnson’s strike in front of the goal—and in that instant, history changed forever.

Manchester United tried to rally, launching wave after wave of attacks in the second half. But the Spurs’ defense held firm. Vicario stood like a wall in goal, Van de Ven cleared heroically, and every Tottenham player fought as if their lives depended on it.

This victory was more than just a scoreline. It was a drought breaker, a curse ender. Since 2008, Spurs had yearned for silverware. And now, for the first time in four decades, they finally held a European trophy—with heads held high and tears of joy in their eyes.

For Manchester United, it was heartbreak. They came in as favorites, unbeaten since the group stage, carrying the weight of expectation and dreams of European triumph. But it all crumbled in the face of one goal, scored by a team that played with pure heart.

That night, San Mames stood witness: that magic still exists in football—and Tottenham had just written a new chapter in their history—with blood, sweat, and victory.
