Son Heung-min finally won his first professional title, relieving his sorrow.
Tottenham won the Europa League (UEL) final match against Manchester United 1-0 in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). Brennan Johnson's winning goal in the 42nd minute of the first half determined the outcome. Tottenham, which maintained its defense firmly until the end of the second half, secured the championship by maintaining a one-goal gap.
Tottenham beat Manchester United to add the trophy for the first time in 17 seasons after winning the 2007-2008 League Cup. With this victory, Tottenham also confirmed its advance to the European Champions League (UCL) in the next season.
Son Heung-min was not able to start the game on the day. He watched the game while putting his name on the replacement list and waited for his team to appear in the second half. In the 21st minute of the second half, when Tottenham was leading 1-0, Hisalisson collapsed due to an injury, and Son Heung-min took the ground in his place. Son Heung-min was not able to make an impressive performance or score by playing 33 minutes, including extra time, but he contributed to the championship by playing to protect his team's victory.
After winning the championship, Son Heung-min was seen hugging his vice-captain Madison and shedding tears. It was not a tear with a sad meaning that had been shed in a situation where he had not achieved the championship, but a tear of joy that relieved all his anger.
He was the first to serve as captain in the trophy ceremony after the game. Son Heung-min, who was the last to receive a medal, accepted the trophy and stood in front of the team. Smiling with the team, Son lifted the trophy with a big smile of joy and cheered. As Son lifted the trophy once again, Tottenham's team celebrated their victory by raising their arms above their heads with loud cheers.
Son Heung-min is considered one of the best players in Asia. He became the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the English Premier League, and won the FIFA Puskas Award and nine Asian Best Footballer Awards, creating an overwhelming career. He is already a living legend at Tottenham. Prior to the match, he had accumulated a whopping 173 goals and 101 assists in 451 matches for Tottenham.
The only puzzle piece that Son lacks in his professional career is winning. So for Son, this game was an even more desperate opportunity to win. Starting with Hamburg in the German Bundesliga, he has played the best stages in the world, including EPL, UCL, and FIFA World Cup, but has never been at the top. 메이저놀이터
It's not that they didn't have a chance. The first chance was at the 2018-2019 European Champions League. At that time, Tottenham seemed to be the hero of a miracle by dramatically beating Ajax in the semifinals to reach the final. However, it was frustrating to lose to Liverpool in the final. It also had a second chance. It reached the final of the League Cup in the 2020-2021 season. However, it was blocked by Manchester City. As they finished second place in both chances, they shed tears.
