One is the UEFA Super Cup, and the other is the UEFA CONMEBOL competition.

Tottenham Hotspur 'Captain' Son Heung-min's last dance is not over yet.

This is because there is a possibility that Son Heung-min will lift the trophy again before saying goodbye to Tottenham. As scheduled, there will be two championship matches this summer alone. Winning just one of the two opportunities is a big hit. You can shake off the thirst for victory that you have endured so far.

Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League final in the 2024-2025 season held on May 22 (Korean time). This is the first time in 17 years for Tottenham to win since 2008.

In addition, Son Heung-min of the team's 'Captain' also lifted the trophy for the first time in his career and rose to the genuine 'Tottenham Legend' rank. It was an achievement that even Harry Kane, who is considered the greatest player in Tottenham's history, could not do. Many local experts say this victory is Son Heung-min's last achievement at Tottenham.

In fact, Son Heung-min, who is under contract with Tottenham until the summer of 2026, has been embroiled in transfer rumors since winning the championship. There have been reports that the Saudi Arabian League wants Son Heung-min with unconventional oil money. The BBC, the first tier of British public confidence, also dealt with Son Heung-min's transfer. Global media ESPN also reported on May 31st that `Son Heung-min is attracting the attention of a number of Saudi Arabian clubs. Considering their strategic aspects of expanding Asian and global markets as well as their skills, Son will be one of the most notable targets in the upcoming summer transfer market. There is a good chance that he will be offered much more than Tottenham's annual salary."

Tottenham clubs are also moving to sell Son Heung-min at the highest possible price in the summer transfer market, the last chance to profit from selling Son Heung-min, who has seen his skills plummet this season. Objectively, it is true that Son Heung-min is very likely to leave Tottenham.

But there is still a chance Son Heung-min will once again lift the trophy before leaving Tottenham. This is because two 'win matches' could be held before the closing of the transfer market. One is already definitive, and the other is fluid.

British media TBR Football reported on the 2nd that `in addition to the UEFA Super Cup against PSG, Tottenham has a chance to lift another trophy thanks to the renewal of the partnership.'

Tottenham has already been confirmed to play in the UEFA Super Cup as the winner of the Europa League (UEL). The UEFA Super Cup is the final match between the Champions League winner and the Europa League winner in a single match to determine the true European champion.

Tottenham will face Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at 5 a.m. on August 14 at Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy. A victory would lift the UEFA Super Cup.

However, there is a possibility that another single-round cup competition will be held. It is the UEFA CONMEBOL (South American Football Federation) Club Challenge Championship. There is a high possibility that it will be held again this year.

The TBR Football Club Challenge is a competition between the UEFA Europa League winners and CONMEBOL Sudamerica. It was held twice, in 2015 and 2016, which was then suspended until the two agencies signed a memorandum of understanding to improve relations in February 2020 and explained that the Europa League winner Sevilla had won after a penalty shootout against Indefendiente del Baye, which resumed in 2023.

The resumed UEFA-CONMEBOL tournament was not held in 2024 due to schedule problems. This is because Euro 2024, Copa America, and the 2024 Paris Olympics overlapped last summer. But this year is different. Since there is no other big tournament schedule in the summer, it is highly likely that the UEFA-CONMEBOL tournament will be held.

In a related development, TBR Football predicted that Tottenham, which has not won a trophy since 2008, may have a chance to win two trophies in a row this summer because there is a separate competition page on the official UEFA website.

Since the schedule has yet to be confirmed, it is difficult to guarantee whether Son Heung-min will participate in both the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA-CONMEBOL. However, since both tournaments are likely to take place before the transfer window closes, Son Heung-min may wear a Tottenham uniform and burn the flame in the match for the trophy once again. If he lifts the trophy again here, Son Heung-min is expected to make a clear mark in Tottenham's history.
