The Tottenham will play the Champions League next season. It is the secondary prize, or not, for winning the European League to Manchester Unitedthat completes a disastrous season with the defeat in a final that could change his life.
Ruben Amorim said that this final was a way for his team to recover the way to greatness. But United continues to bury millions in the pit of mediocrity.
The Tottenham, a brave team for conviction and attractiveness in view of habit, a goal from Johnson was found at the end of the first part With the help of the hand of Shaw, who pushed the ball towards the goal. But penalty goal is goal and Tottenham went to rest with the advantage of a bit and with the mood full.
United turned to the Tottenham goal in the second half in a tireless monologue that approached the goal several times. Much responsibility for the London team to end the zero on the scoreboard Van de Ven, who cleared on the line a ball that already sneaked behind a header of hojlund After a vicar error, Tottenham’s Italian goalkeeper.
The London club has kept POSTECOGLU Throughout the season despite the bad results during much of the course. A series of consecutive defeats put him to the edge of the descent. But faith has a prize and United, who had not lost any game in the tournament and had already won in San Mamés in the semifinals, found the defeat in the last game.
The Tottenham had been winning a European tournament for 41 years. It was this same tournament, when it was called UEFA Cup and defeated the Anderlecht in the finalthat he was the current champion then. The two were eliminated by Real Madrid on the way to its first UEFA Cup the following year. Then it was Steve Perryman, a man of those who spend a lifetime wearing the same shirt, who raised the cup. Against Manchester United the Captain was the Cuti Romero, an Argentine, although it was the South Korean are the one who raised the cup. Symptoms of the change that football and life has lived. In between, he came to play a Champions League final against Liverpool in the Metropolitan. What did not give the Stadium of Atlético has been given by Athletic.
Romero had to apply in the defense of his area before the Manchester centers. But the Argentine is accustomed to aerial battles. The United squeezed a lot, but the goal that would have served to fix two seasons did not arrive.
Amorim trusted his future at the speed and the overflow of Garnacho from the left wing. The Argentine of Madrid was a constant danger to Tottenham from the left side and had his best occasion in a shot that was looking for the corner and could clear Vicar.
He attacked with more faith than ideas United, hoping that the insistence would come where football did not reach him. A little what has happened to him throughout the season, in which he has not been able to reflect the economic investment in what happened from the countryside. Even so, he had opportunities until the last moment, in a Dalot center and A Shaw header – from lateral to lateral– that vicario cleared.
This victory arrives just when his most significant captain in recent history is gone. Harry Kane spent a life at Tottenham waiting for a title that never arrived. His ego heals with the Bundesliga achieved this year, but Tottenhan has taken less than two years to get a European title that he had been waiting for almost forty when he left.
