Son Heung-min's partner James Madison expressed his feelings about being excluded from the Europa League final list.
Tottenham and Manchester United are set to play in the Europa League (UEL) final of the 2024-2025 season at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain, at 4 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea time).
It is the moment to determine Tottenham's performance this season. Tottenham, which fell to 17th place with the worst performance in the league, was eliminated from all competitions, including the League Cup and the FA Cup. The Europa League is the only chance to win one more championship. Tottenham has won two Europa League titles (1971-1972 season, 1983-1984 season) including the entire UEFA Cup. It is a great opportunity for Tottenham, which has been taking no actions for 18 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season, to win the championship.

Madison was removed from the list. Tottenham will play in a 4-3-3 formation. Dominic Solanke, Hishalisson and Brennan Johnson will play three-top, while Papesar, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur will play in the midfield. Destiny Udogi, Mickey Panderpen, Christian Romero and Pedro Porpo are the four-backs. The goal is guarded by Guglielmo Vicario. Son Heung-min is also waiting to play on the replacement list, not the starter, but Madison will not be able to play at all.
Initially, it was reported that Madison would not be able to play the rest of the season due to a knee injury. He suffered a knee injury in the first leg of the last UEL semifinal, and coach Enze Postecoglou also admitted it. However, ahead of the final, Maddison's appearance on the bus with the team was revealed, included in the squad, and attention was drawn to the possibility of Madison's surprise appearance. However, Madison was not included in the list without any major unexpected events.

Madison participated in the pregame interview and expressed his feelings about being excluded from the final. British Tribune sheds light on his interview, saying 'Madison is devastated' Madison says "It's difficult. I can already feel the atmosphere here. These are the events I really want to participate in the big European competition. It's such a shame that I couldn't participate. I think I performed well in this European tournament and played a big role. However, it is really difficult to go to the last gate and not participate." He expressed regret over the failure to participate.
Nevertheless, I cheered for my colleagues. Madison has put that aside over the last few days, done his best as a veteran and made sure his teammates are at their best"I'm not a young player anymore. That's even more so on our team. I know I can make a good impact off the field and the players respect me as well."
