Tottenham will play Manchester United in the Europa League (UEL) final in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio San Mames in Bilbao, Spain, on the afternoon of the 21st (local time). A day before this, an official press conference was held. Son Heung-min went to the press conference as a representative of Tottenham's players along with Perdo Porpo.
For Son Heung-min, this is the most important game in his soccer life. He is the 'Lord of the Royal Family'. Never won a single championship in his club career. Since debuting in Hamburg in 2010, Leverkusen and Tottenham. He never won a championship. At least, he has won the national team stage. He once led his juniors to a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Palembang, Jakarta.
On the club stage, he was frustrated on the threshold of winning three times. In the 2016-2017 season, Tottenham ranked second in the English Premier League (EPL). He advanced to the final of the European Champions League (UCL) in the 2018-2019 season. However, they lost the final against Liverpool 0–2 in Madrid, Spain. In the 2020-2021 Carabao Cup (League Cup) final, he failed to overcome Manchester City and finished second.
If Tottenham beats Manchester United, Son Heung-min will become the fourth Korean player to win after Cha Bum-keun, the former national team coach who led Frankfurt (Germany) to the UEFA Cup (the predecessor of the Europa League) in 1980 and 1988, and Kim Dong-jin and Lee Ho, who won the title for Zenit St. Petersburg in 2008.
At the press conference, Son Heung-min said, `Thank you so much for the Korean fans supporting me and my team,' adding, `You always support me late at night or early in the morning. I want to repay my fans. Tomorrow, I want to give a trophy to the fans with a smile."
