May 26, 2025

Tottenham lost 1-4 to Brighton in the 38th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 25th (local time). Son Heung-min was excluded from the list.
But Tottenham have achieved everything. It won 1-0 in the Europa League (UEL) final against Manchester United at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 21st. Tottenham lifted the Europa League trophy. Son Heung-min led his team to victory as captain.
I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. He said "It's such a happy ending````. "Thank you so much to the fans."

-The long season is over. It's a happy ending, right?
▶It's such a happy ending and I think it's the most memorable season. Soccer fans all over the world who really support me and especially in Korea must have been really cheering for me and waiting for me more than I did. Based on personal records, it's definitely a disappointing season, but I don't think there was a season where I could feel this memory. I was so happy and I was so happy. I wanted to have this feeling for a long time and experience it again.
-Next season is another challenge
▶It's fun. I'm always looking forward to seeing such challenges waiting for me. I don't know what kind of challenge it will be, but I think it's my job to do my best to prepare what I can so that I can always do my best in my position.
-The season is over now. If there's anything you want to do right now.
▶For now, take a good rest. Since the national team's biggest homework is coming up, we have to make sure we are in good shape. Resting is important, but keeping your body that good is also my job, so I'm focusing on that right now. After the national team's schedule, I'm going to think about what to do next.
-How did it really feel when you lifted the trophy?
▶I was really proud. I was just really proud. As I always said, I didn't want to do what others wanted to do. Now that I'm saying this, I can't beat Tottenham for 10 years. Every time I heard 'I can't win' and 'I think I gave up the trophy' when I renewed my contract, there was something that stimulated me a little more. I thought I wanted to do it.I was so proud of myself and my team members, and I think it made me a little more proud of myself as a player who I can raise my head with pride. When I turned around the trophy, I could see each player's face, and they were really looking at me and looking at me so proud. I was so happy and happy that I was rewarded for living a hard life as a soccer player, so I think that's what I felt the most.

▶ It's really touching. For me, you're so happy with someone's work and you're looking forward to someone's work?Lip gum? You really like it that much. I really thought, "Can I receive this much love?" When it comes to giving me more love than I worked hard, I get emotional whenever I talk about this. Even though I'm not good enough, thanks to the fans who always support me every morning, night, night, late, early, it was the biggest driving force that made me take a step further when I collapsed and wanted to stop. It will be like that now and in the future. I really mean it.
I was wandering around looking for the last piece of the real puzzle that was really perfect. I felt like the fans really brought it to me because they gave it to me. From my point of view, I'm sorry that I brought it too late. I'm really sorry. Thanks to you, I was so happy for a season, and I want to say thank you so much for giving me time to develop as a person and a player. I want to say I love you.
I really don't know from now on. I do my best every year to see how much I can be a soccer player. I don't know how interested I am in soccer and how much my physical condition can really support me. We really gave up all our personal greed until the end. Of course, it would be nice if I scored a goal just for playing soccer. More than that, I'll burn up my soccer until the end, so please enjoy watching me and laugh with me. You don't have to cry together. I hope you like it with us, and I hope you'll always be a windbreaker when the wind blows like this, and become a warm home when it snows.
