In a tightly contested UEFA Europa League final at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Tottenham Hotspur secured a 1-0 win over Manchester United, ending a 17-year trophy drought and claiming their first European title since 1984.
The decisive moment came in the 42nd minute. Pape Matar Sarr delivered a cross from the left, which Brennan Johnson attempted to connect with. The ball deflected off Manchester United’s Luke Shaw and found its way past goalkeeper Andre Onana into the net.
Despite Manchester United’s dominance in possession, they struggled to break down Tottenham’s resolute defense. A notable opportunity arose in the second half when Rasmus Højlund’s header was dramatically cleared off the line by Micky van de Ven, preserving Spurs’ lead. 
This triumph marks a significant milestone for Tottenham and manager Ange Postecoglou, who delivered silverware in his second season at the helm. The victory also secures Tottenham’s qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League and a spot in the UEFA Super Cup final against either Paris Saint-Germain or Inter Milan.
For Manchester United, the defeat concludes a disappointing season, leaving them without European competition next year. 
Tottenham’s Europa League success not only ends a long-standing trophy drought but also offers a platform for future achievements under Ange Postecoglou’s leadership. The club’s supporters will hope this victory heralds the beginning of a new era of success.
