I hope this legacy will never go away and be with Spurs forever." He even left his own autograph at the bottom right of the mural.

Long-term injury 'Best Friend' midfielder James Maddison also visited the stadium and welcomed Son Heung-min. There was no need for words. The two, who built unforgettable memories at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, shared a hot hug in front of the bench.

Son Heung-min, who received a commemorative plaque prepared by Tottenham, held the microphone ahead of the start of the game. "Good evening, this is Sonny. Everyone, you didn't forget me. I was so grateful to have had an amazing 10 years. I will always stay as Tottenham and be with you. This will always be my home, and I will never forget it. I hope you all join me, and I'll be glad to welcome you when I'm surprised by LA. I hope to see you often. I love you all. Come on Spurs!"
Son Heung-min, who went up to the stands, became a Tottenham fan and cheered for the team, and his old teammates presented the former captain with a great victory.
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank set up an attacking team of Hishalisson, Wilson O'Dowbert, Xavi Simmons and Mohamed Kudus. Archie Gray and João Paligna took charge of the midfield, with Pedro Porro, Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn and Jed Spence four back. Vicario defended the goal.
Tottenham took the lead in the 26th minute with the first goal. In a corner kick situation, Romero's header deflected off David Zima's head in front of the goal and headed into his own goal. Son Heung-min, sitting in the stands, applauded.

Tottenham, leading 1-0 in the first half, fled with an additional penalty goal from Mohamed Kudus in the fifth minute of the second half, and Sabi Simmons' penalty in the 34th minute of the second half sealed the victory. Kudus, who spent about 100 billion won last summer from West Ham, is considered Son's de facto successor, and Simmons is Son's '7 successor'. Simmons opened the scoring at UCL for the first time since joining Tottenham this season.
The match ended in Tottenham's 3-0 victory.
