Tottenham launched a winning move. James Madison (Tottenham), who was considered to be out of the season, also joined.

Tottenham, led by head coach Enze Postecoglou, will play the Europa League final against Manchester United (England) in the 2024-2025 season at San Mames Barria in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time).

Tottenham's squad entered Bilbao on the 'land of the showdown' The club announced the team's movement and arrival in Bilbao through its official SNS account.




There's a face that stands out. It's Madison. He had been injured, raising the possibility of 'season out'. British media BBC reported on the 6th that Madison is unlikely to play for the next three weeks due to a knee injury. Madison appears to have injured a ligament in his knee. His injury is expected to be a big blow to Tottenham. It is expected that he will not be able to play in the Europa League final. Madison emerged in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals against Bowdo/Glimt (Norway) on the 2nd. Although he appeared to be a minor injury at the time, he failed to play in the English Premier League (EPL) match against West Ham that followed.

Unexpectedly, Madison appeared. According to the video released by the club, Madison was seen moving to the airport on the club bus.

British media Football London released a video of Tottenham boarding a bus ahead of the Europa League final. Madison was caught by surprise. According to the club's video, all players who participated in Tottenham's Europa League this season appear to be heading to Bilbao.




The situation is not good for Tottenham. He ranked 17th out of 20 teams with 11 wins, 5 draws and 21 losses (38 points) in this season's EPL. Above all, since the launch of the EPL in 1992, it has set a new record for the most losing teams in a single season. The previous record was 19 losses in the 1993-1994 season (42 games, 11 wins and 12 draws) and the 2003-2004 season (38 games, 13 wins and 6 draws). In addition, Tottenham also broke the record for the lowest number of points in a single season in the club's history in the 1997-1998 season (44, 11 wins, 11 draws and 16 losses) with only one game left until the end of the season.

There is a possibility of a reversal. When Tottenham wins the Europa League, it will win the official tournament for the first time in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. At the same time, he can also qualify for the European Champions League (UCL) next season.
