In the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League final, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 with a goal from Brennan Johnson and won the championship. South Korean star Son Heung-min said that he and the team did something special that people will never forget, and he called himself the happiest person in the world.

Bentancur created an attacking opportunity in the 42nd minute. Sarr received the ball and made a lob pass into the penalty area. The ball hit Luke Shaw and Brennan Johnson fell to the ground and shot, helping Tottenham Hotspur take the lead 1-0.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 at the San Mamés Stadium, successfully ascended the championship throne, and ended a 17-year championship drought.

In this season's Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min contributed 3 goals and one assist to the team. Son Heung-min said in an interview, "We did it. I always wanted to do something special, and we did something that people will never forget. This is a very special moment, so let's celebrate it to our heart's content."

“I never had a doubt, even though we had some tough games, but I always believed we could win this tournament and we did it. All the players deserve a lot of credit, they have been fantastic since day one.”

Son Heung-min also joked, "Maybe I am not the next captain, but all the players respect me very much and are very kind. I am lucky to have such a group of excellent teammates supporting me. I am the happiest person in the world."

"I will never forget it all, from scoring my first goal on the pitch to now winning the Europa League as captain. In these 10 years I have achieved special moments that will never be forgotten and I am really happy."

Happy for my friend Kane winning the championship

In addition, the 32-year-old Son Heung-min not only won his first championship at Tottenham Hotspur, but also became the first Asian captain to lead a team to win a European championship.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mark Postecoglou said: "We have had some incredible champions at this club and Kane is a great example of that, but they have never had a day like this."

"I have always hoped that Son Heung-min would have such a day, because in the past 10 years, he has really given everything for this moment and worked hard for this feeling, but it always passed him by."

It is worth mentioning that Kane, the England captain who played for Tottenham Hotspur for many years, won the Bundesliga championship earlier, which was also the first championship in Kane's career.

Son Heung-min said: "We have an incredible friendship and partnership, so I'm really happy for him that he finally won his first championship. But Kane, we won too.
