In football, we did not expect a lot from this 100% English final of the Europa League between Tottenham and Manchester United, two catastrophic teams from Premier League (17th and 16th) on Wednesday in Bilbao. We were served. The two teams did not offer a show worthy of their championship, but the essential was elsewhere, in victory. In addition to an additional European trophy at the charts, the meeting offered above all an unexpected sesame for the next Champions League.
It is Tottenham, winner 1-0 of the Red Devils on a CSC, which will accompany the first five of the PL! Champion Liverpool and his Dauphin Arsenal are already qualified for the next C1, Manchester City is in a position of strength before the last day of Sunday (kick -off 5 p.m.) and Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa as well as Nottingham can all finish in the top 5 of the ranking. Ruben Amorim's Man United has been officially seasoned for ages. An absolute shame.
The meeting disputed in an incandescent San Mamés was played at the end of the first period. The final has changed in favor of spurs on a simple center of Pope Matar Sarr from the left. Brennan Johnson appeared at the first post and Luke Shaw, overwhelmed by events, unfortunately sent the ball to his goal. André Onana could not do anything (42nd).
Man United Mute in the final
Bruno Fernandes and his teammates, with an Amad Diallo too alone to make differences and an Alejandro Garnacho only launched in the 71st minute, stumbled on spurs completely grouped around their surface. The unfortunate Luke Shaw had the last opportunity after additional time, in the 97th minute, but his head was heroicly pushed by the Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Leny Yoro misses a first trophy, while Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel, who did not come into play during this final, can celebrate this Europa League.
Two years after the departure of Harry Kane, Tottenham has won a new title since the League Cup 2008 (2-1 Ap against Chelsea, with Pascal Chimbonda, Younès Kabul or Steed Malbranque in the team). Champion of England in 1951 and 1960, the London club already had three European cups to its credit, with two first UEFA cup, in 1972 and 1984, and the 1963 Cup Cup. Its Heung-Min therefore raised the fourth European Cup of Tottenham!
