Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 1-0 in the 2024-2025 Europa League (UEL) final at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). Tottenham lifted the European competition trophy for the first time in 17 years, and Son Heung-min also won his first club competition.
Son Heung-min, who tasted the trophy properly for the first time in 15 years, shed tears of happiness, not tears of sadness he showed after the last three finals. He cried and laughed, but Son Heung-min burst his feelings without hiding them.
In fact, there was a problem during the winning ceremony. Some Tottenham players, including Son Heung-min, did not receive a winning medal on the ceremony stage. The British Daily Mail said Son Heung-min, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancourt and vice-captain Christian Romero hugged Uefa president Alexander Cheperin but did not receive a medal.

However, all Tottenham players who were drunk on the victory after the game took the podium together. Starting with the first-team players who did not play UEL, all prospects who have hardly played in the first-team games lined up to take the podium.
UEFA held the championship ceremony without confirming that more than 30 Tottenham players were waiting. Son Heung-min, Bentancourt and Romero, who were in the back, received only a congratulatory hug from Chairman Cheperin without a winning medal. It can be quite a pity not to receive the winning medal, but Son Heung-min, who had already exploded with his victory, did not care at all.

According to the Daily Mail, UEFA informed that only 30 people will be on stage at the ceremony, although 50 medals will be allocated to each team. Tottenham players were on the stage of the awards ceremony in a larger number than expected, lacking medals. The medal, which was lacking, was delivered directly to the winner's locker room. We sincerely apologize for our mistake, he even said in a statement. UEFA also reportedly apologized to the club. After receiving the medal in the locker room, Son Heung-min enjoyed the joy of winning the championship with his teammates again.

Son Heung-min's cheering song 'NICE ONE SONNY' was playing at the party. Son Heung-min sang "NICE ONE SONNY, NICE ONE SON" himself while playing next to Radu Dragusin and Dane Scarlett. Son Heung-min held a trophy model in one hand. Son Heung-min played like a player at a club party.
What was more important to Son than a medal was the national flag. Even after the victory was confirmed, Son Heung-min, who was looking for the national flag first, wore it until he returned to the hotel. After waking up, Son Heung-min was also accompanied by the Korean national flag on his body when he left for England. Even on the plane back to London, England, Son carried the Korean national flag on his body.
