As one would expect, Ange Postecoglou was very emotional in the changing room after seeing Tottenham secure passage to the Europa League final.
The Australian admitted to the Spurs squad that he is proud of the fight and character they have shown through adversity this season.
He and the Tottenham Hotspur players now have the chance to write their names into the club’s history books by delivering a trophy to Spurs fans, who have been starved of silverware for 17 long years.
Where is the final?
The final of the 2025 Europa League will be played in Spain, with the magnificent San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, the home of Athletic Club, set to host the showpiece event.
The stadium, which resembles a mini version of Wembley, seats 53,331 people, and there is no doubt that a lot of Tottenham fans will already be planning their trips to Basque.

What is Tottenham’s record like in the Europa League?
This is the first time that Tottenham Hotspur have reached the final since it was rebranded as the Europa League, but they did win the UEFA Cup on two occasions, once in 1972 and then again in 1984.
If Spurs win it, it will be the fourth major European trophy in the North London club’s history, including their 1962–63 European Cup Winners’ Cup triumph, which was the first time any English club had won a European trophy.
This is the first time that Spurs have reached a major European final since their Champions League final against Liverpool in Madrid in 2019.

Tottenham will be playing Premier League opposition just like they did in 2019, with Man United now standing between them and the Europa League trophy.
The Red Devils boast of a formidable record in Europe, having won the Champions League three times, and the UEFA Cup, Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Super Cup on one occasion each.
