  • Trolling Terry

    Chelsea legend John Terry has broken his silence on James Maddison's Europa League final dig at him.

    Maddison channelled his inner JT after Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao last night, donning a FULL KIT despite not playing due to injury.

  • Man new

    With Ruben Amorim's job reportedly under threat, SunSport has taken a look at those in line to potentially replace the 40-year-old.

    Amorim was only appointed SIX months ago but has overseen the worst period in the club's recent history.

  • Ruben future

    Ruben Amorim's future remains uncertain after last night's horror show in Bilbao.

    The Portuguese boss claimed he would leave Off Trafford with no pay-off if the board and fans decide his time is up.

    He said: "I’m always open, if they feel that I am not the right guy, I will go the next day without any conversation about compensation. 

    "But I will not quit. I am really confident in my job. As you can see, I will not change nothing in how I do things."

  • Ange future

    Ange Postecoglou admitted the overwhelming feeling was of relief after last night's historic win.

    The Australians' future in North London remains uncertain despite leading Spurs to a first trophy in 17 years.

    Ange said: "I would be disappointed if we don't continue on this path.

    "It is difficult to buy into one person's vision. I have been a serial winner. I know people dismiss what I have won because it didn't happen here, but they were hard earned.

    "There is huge relief. You carry the weight of responsibility and 150 times I have been a spokesman for this club."

    He added: "There are no planned meetings. I'll go back to my hotel room with friends and family, open up a nice bottle of scotch."

  • Medal count

    Uefa have been forced to issue a statement - after there weren't enough winners' medals to go around for Tottenham.

    Some Spurs players and staff were left without a medal following Wednesday's win.

    The statement read: "To our great displeasure, we did not have enough medals available on stage during the trophy ceremony presentation due to an unexpected discrepancy in the player count, as more team members - including injured players - participated in the ceremony than initially anticipated.

    "The missing medals were promptly delivered to the winning team in the dressing room, along with our sincerest apologies for the oversight."

  • Save the date

    Postecoglou hinted at a "massive parade on Friday" following last night's victory in Bilbao.

    Those plans have now been confirmed.

    Spurs' victory parade will start at 5.30pm on Friday from Edmonton Green.

  • Fall from Grace

    SunSport's Tom Barclay was in attendance in Bilbao and has a damning assessment of United on and off the field.

    "It is scarcely believable this is the same club that used to dominate English football, season in and season out."

  • Match stats

    Spurs needed just one shot on target to secure European glory.

    Manchester United dominated possession in Bilbao, with Tottenham happy to defend a lead in the second half.

    And some heroic defending saw Ange's men see the game out despite seven minutes of tense stoppage time.

  • Roy ripped

    James Maddison couldn't resist a cheeky dig at Roy Keane following the Europa League final.

    Despite not playing in the final, the Spurs midfielder donned his full kit to join in the celebrations.

    And he used an interview with CBS Sports to hit back at United legend Keane, who earlier this season criticised his lack of consistency.

  • Garnacho slams Man Utd’s ‘s***’ season

    Alejandro Garnacho slammed Manchester United's "s*** season" while dropping a major transfer hint.

    And speculation that Garnacho is an unhappy United camper only strengthened after his brother's social media outburst.

    The Argentine was left out of the starting XI that was beaten by Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao.

    That is despite starting in ten of their matches in the European campaign, scoring just the once.

    United's defeat in Spain - while sitting 16th in the Premier League - caps off a horror season.

    And Garnacho, speaking to Argentine press and translated by Fabrizio Romano, said: “It’s difficult for all of us. This season has been s***.

    “We lost the final, we didn’t beat anyone in the league. It’s very difficult."

    Garnacho cryptically added: “I've played every round until I reached the final, but I only played 20 minutes today.

    “I'll enjoy the summer and then we'll see."

  • Maguire and Romero in post-match scrap

    Harry Maguire and Cristian Romero were involved in a post-match scrap after Tottenham's Europa League final triumph over Manchester United.

    Tempers spilled over at the final whistle as the Londoners kicked off raucous celebrations.

    As Spurs began their party, defender Romero made his way to several United players to shake their hands.

    Maguire did not appear to take any notice as Romero came up to him.

    However, as the Argentine moved on to a different player, Maguire began charging towards him angrily.

    The United star could be seeing angrily waving his hand at Romero while being held back by teammates.

    Meanwhile, the Spurs star was also dragged away by pals to prevent further escalation.

  • Fan-Demonium

    Spurs fans who couldn't get to Bilbao last night came together in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see their side lift their first trophy in 17 years.

    Just look at the scenes at the full-time whistle...

    As the Tottenham squad wake to a new day, the realisation of what they have done will sink in more.

    They gave their fans a moment to talk about for some time to come.

    The trophy parade will no doubt follow but Spurs are the 2025 Europa League champions.

  • Fernandes willing to leave if club want to cash in

    Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes revealed that he would be willing to leave the Red Devils this summer if the club want to cash in.

    The Portugese superstar has been linked with a move to a big-money switch to Saudi Arabia.

    Speaking after Man Utd's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final, Fernandes said: "I have always been honest. I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go.

    "I'm eager to do more, to be able to bring the club the great days. In the day that the club thinks that I'm too much or it's time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it. But I've always said it and I keep my word in the same way.

    "If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it's what it is, and football sometimes is like this."

  • Extra seat needed on flight

    As Tottenham head back to North London, there will be one extra passenger on their flight home.

    The Europa League trophy may need a seat just to itself, given the size of the silverware.

    Not that anyone from Spurs will be complaining, they would have agreed to giving away their seat in an instant for it had you offered them the opportunity before kick-off.

  • Massive moment for big stars

    Having left clubs to join this Spurs' project, they may have had moments wondering if they would see some silverware.

    Moments like this are just why they made that decision.

    All the low points seem worth it as they enjoy a truly special moment with their teammates and fans.

  • Gaffer sticks to his plan

    Speaking with TNT Sports, the Man Utd manager was asked for his views and whether he is concerned about his future:

    Especially in the second-half, we were in control of the situation. In the first-half we suffered a goal but we had plenty of chances to score. This moment is to give space to winners and try and deal with this feeling. I am confident I am still the guy, I know it is going be tough and the patience of the fans is going to be short. I am not going to give up on this challenge. If they say [the board] I have to go, I will leave without compensation in a day.

  • New look, same love

    There is no doubting that Tottenham have a special place in the heart of the former player.

    On media duties for TNT Sports, Gareth Bale could not hide his excitement with this win.

    Once a Spur, always a Spur.

  • Something to remember for boss

    He has had to field some difficult scrutinty from the media all season as things failed to go to plan.

    But, for Ange Postecoglou, everything grilling must seem a distant memory now.

    The former Celtic boss was brought in to bring the good times back to North London and he has certainly delivered.
