Who will save the season? Such a question was asked before FinałEM Europa League Manchester United – Tottenham. Both teams have collapsed Premier League And before this meeting they occupied the 16th and 17th place in the table. Winning in LE was the only chance for them to play next season in the Champions League and in European cups in general.
Few balls in the final. Even the goal was quite bizarre
The first half unfortunately confirmed only the terrible form in which both were before this meeting. Lots of jerking game, inaccuracy, “kopane”. Fans in social media did not leave a dry thread on the players during the break. The first 45 minutes before complete oblivion was saved only by the goal initially classified as Luke Shaw's suicide. The Englishman was hit by the ball by Kiks Brennan Johnson and unlucky Tottenham gave the lead. After the final verification, however, Johnson's hit was written.
In the second half, much has not changed. Tottenham had already played defensively, and the goal definitely did not make them open. Even brutal statistics appeared, announcing that up to 60 minutes Spurs exchanged only 96 customs passes (United 241). Their goalkeeper seemed the biggest threat to Londoners.
The hero was only one! What a brilliant intervention!
Glugiemo Vicario was already uncertain in the first half when going out to the cross, and in the second, specifically in the 69th minute, he was wrong that Hojlund scored an empty goal and the goal did not fall only thanks to Micking Van de Ven, who equilibristically broke the ball from the goal line. The Italian must be reflected that he was well defended five minutes later the Garnacho shot, but he did not calm it down fans. “Vicario should be grateful to Van de Ven for the rest of his life”, “Vicario must focus on these exits,” wrote fans on social media.
Instead, the Dutch defender was hailed as the same situation. “Intervention of the genre of those that can permanently enter it in the history of Tottenham!”, “Van de Ven, what an intervention, wow!”, “Micky van de Ven just made a miracle”, “What about the hell? After all, he could win Tottenham trophy!” – These are just some of the comments.
Tottenham was bleeding but survived! The end of a 17-year-old nightmare!
Ultimately, the brilliant intervention of the Dutchman itself turned out to be absolutely crucial for the final result. Tottenham defended himself extremely deeply, as heroically as desperately. For them, however, the most important thing was that they did it effectively. Also thanks to the goalkeeper. Vicario really wanted to balance his mistakes when going out to the cross and did it in the added time of the game, greatly defending Shaw's head shot. His interventions and Van de Vena introduced Tottenham to the football paradise.
Spurs took the result to the very end and won the Europa 2024/25 league! This is the first trophy for this club since 2008, when they won the English League Cup. They have been waiting in the international arena since 1984, when they won the European League at the time, i.e. the UEFA Cup.
The level definitely did not impress. Experts indicated how Tottenham the final
After the match, experts congratulated the winners, but also emphasized how much Spurs went out of this victory. – 43 Tottenham's accurate application in the second half (and the judge added 7 minutes). It was enough. – wrote Marcin Borzęcki from Viaplay. – One of the worst finals I saw, fortunately only 90 minutes He took. It's nice that Tottenham and Ange won, but I don't know if there is any future here. A terrible descent this season, without a reflection – added his editorial colleague Michał Borkowski.
– A very weak team won with a very very soooooo weak team. After all, congratulations to all Tottenham fans! – wrote the user of the portal X Buckaroobanzai. – Intervention worth victory in the final and the first trophy for 17 years! And a player of the match. I was behind MAN Utd but applause Tottenham – wrote Michał Pol, joining the group of van de Vena intervention.
In turn, the key aspects that influenced Tottenham's victory, pointed out Zbigniew Boniek. – A good goalkeeper, careful defense and you can win. Or deservedly? I don't know … … a good match. The Winner is Tottenham – wrote the former president of PZPN.
