Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is waiting to play on the bench instead of starting in the final, which could be his last chance to win his career.
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 only game that will determine the performance of the two teams this season. Tottenham, which fell to 17th place with the worst performance in the league this season, 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.
The same is true of Manchester United. It collapsed with 18 losses, the most by a club in the league. The ranking is also 16th, only one place higher than Tottenham. For Manchester United, which wants a full-fledged rebound under coach Huven Amorim next season, it is inevitably important to reorganize the team's atmosphere by winning the Europa League and succeed in advancing to the European Champions League (UCL). He plans to reach the finish line with the determination that he can never retreat.

Son Heung-min, who wants the only puzzle piece left in his career, did not start. In an interview ahead of the final, Son Heung-min said "The reason I stayed at Tottenham was because I wanted to do things that others could not do. You need all the pieces to make a puzzle. I think I got all the pieces right, but I think I'm missing the last one, which is the most important in the end. I wandered around for 10 years in search of the piece. I wish I could do the puzzle this time" expressed a strong desire to win.
I'm even more desperate because the road to the finals was tough. Son Heung-min had a difficult time this season due to poor performance and injury. Recently, he has not been able to play the game properly due to his injuries. Ahead of the final, he made a dramatic return and took the opportunity to confirm his own victory. In what could be the last chance to win, Son Heung-min waited on the bench to play in person.
