'Captain'S Son Heung-min's first career trophy, Tottenham's first win in 17 years. UEFA made a fatal mistake in the atmosphere of the all-time festival.
Son Heung-min's Tottenham won 1-0 against Manchester United at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time) thanks to Brennan Johnson's winning goal in the 42nd minute of the first half. Son Heung-min was substituted in the 21st minute of the second half, and Tottenham, which maintained a one-goal lead until the end of the second half, achieved its dream of winning. It is the first championship in 17 years since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. Reaffirming the myth of coach Angie Postecoglou's '2nd year win', he also confirmed his advance to the European Champions League next season.
Son Heung-min, who shed tears immediately after the victory was confirmed, lined up at the end of the team to receive the trophy as the representative of Tottenham at the awards ceremony with the Korean national flag. The scene where UEFA President Alexander Ceferin congratulated each and every winning medal, it was revealed that there was a lack of medals to hang on to all Tottenham players. After Yves Bissouma received the medal, Ceferin was seen turning around and speaking to the UEFA president, and the medal box was empty. The awards stopped for a moment.
Bentancourt, who stood after Bissouma, only shook hands and Christian Romero, Argentina's national team and Tottenham vice-captain, also replaced the medal with a handshake. Finally, Chairman Ceferin was seen smiling and having a short conversation with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min, Bentancourt and Romero, who stood at the end of the line, were photographed posing with the Europa League trophy without winning the gold medal.

Soon after winning the championship, Son told TNT Sports in an on-site interview, `It's the moment I've always dreamed of. Today is the day. I'm the happiest person in the world," he said, expressing his emotion. "Over the entire season, there have always been tough situations, but the players have always come together", he preached the value of Tottenham, a one-team player who has devoted himself for 10 years.

With the final league match against Brighton on the weekend and the final match of this season left, Son Heung-min said, `Congratulating today's victory, I'll make it a day I'll never forget. Maybe I'll miss my flight tomorrow. Should I cancel the Brighton match?He celebrated his first career victory with a jovial joke " ".
Son Heung-min, who always responded with humility that it was not a world class, admitted himself that the word 'Tottenham Legend' was this day. "Let's call it a legend now. But it's just for today. It's something no one has done in 17 years. Today, I also want to say that I am a legend of this club. It feels amazing. It's a moment I've always dreamed of, and that dream has finally come true. I am the happiest person in the world."
