Son Heung-min was like the captain of Korea.
Tottenham won the Europa League (UEL) final 1-0 against Manchester United in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). Tottenham won the trophy for the first time in 17 years, and Son Heung-min won his first club trophy.
Britain's Sky Sports revealed Tottenham's squad and coaching staff leaving their hotel in Bilbao for England. Son Heung-min appeared in a Tottenham training suit with a Korean national flag tied to his waist.

Son Heung-min, who still had the joy of winning, seemed like the happiest man in the world. As he performed a ceremony to lift the trophy once again in front of the fans, he got on the bus with a happy expression in the world. Tottenham will now head to England for a winning car parade.
Son Heung-min was the first to find the national flag even after the victory was confirmed. I asked a fan holding a Korean flag, and tied the Korean flag delivered by the fan to my waist. Son Heung-min was also one with the Korean national flag when he celebrated his victory. Korean fans were even more moved by Son Heung-min's victory ceremony with the Korean national flag.
Son Heung-min showed patriotism even before the UEL final. He is very grateful to be born as a Korean. I always wanted to show the best, and I wanted to prove that there are Korean players like me through good images."

It's his first win, but this victory has perfected Son Heung-min's career narrative. Son Heung-min was so serious about winning that he wanted to give Tottenham a championship and said he didn't deserve to be called a legend until he won.
