The final match of the 2024-25 Europa League took place at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain. The final match attracted attention as the "England Derby" in which Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, a rival of the English Premier League, will face off. After a fierce match, Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 to lift the Europa League trophy. The victory was recorded as the first European victory in 17 years and the third Europa League trophy in the club's history.
Tottenham's first goal and iron wall defense
At the beginning of the game, the two teams exchanged attacks quickly without a search. Manchester United opened with Ahmad's shot, and Tottenham began to regain its momentum through counterattacks after a stable defense. In the 28th minute of the first half, Tottenham had a decisive opportunity due to Manchester United defender Maguire's error, but the score was unfortunately canceled due to Onana's good defense.
But five minutes later, Tottenham finally scored the opening goal. Brennan Johnson dealt a sharp cross from Sarri at the gate, and the ball that struck defender Luke Shaw's hand again flowed to Johnson, who pushed it back into the net. A video review found that a handball foul was not declared and the score remained the same. It was the only goal of the final, and Tottenham finished with a 1-0 lead in the first half.
United's general offensive and Tottenham's organization in the second half
In the second half, Manchester United fought back. Amorim tried to change the mood by aggressively changing the team. In particular, the scene where Hoirun's header in the box was blocked by Van der Penn's defense in the 55th minute of the second half was a decisive moment that decided the outcome. Afterwards, Manchester United continued to stage a wave of attacks, but Tottenham's defense responded calmly and refused to allow any additional points.
At the end of the second half, Manchester United were aiming for one last chance, including a free kick from Luke Shaw, but Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario made a super save to keep the goal. In the end, the match ended with a 1-0 victory for Tottenham.
Tottenham Cut 17 Years of Irrelevant Ring
The victory was a very symbolic achievement for Tottenham. They remained in 17th place in the Premier League, but they advanced to the finals with outstanding teamwork and spirit in the Europa League and became the ultimate winner. Postecoglou proved his tactical abilities and rose to the top of Europe with his strong teamwork.
Manchester United is a disappointing runner-up...Power Reinforcement Challenges
United, on the other hand, was sluggish this season, finishing 16th in the league, but made a reversal in the Europa League by advancing to the final. However, the team's defeat in the final cost the club a spot in the European tournament. Although Amorim had an impressive strategy in the Europa League, he left a regret that he could not overcome the final crisis. Manchester United will need a thorough analysis and drastic rebuilding for next season.
