Tottenham Hotspur have claimed the 2025 UEFA Europa League title, defeating Manchester United 1–0 on Wednesday night in Bilbao. Both Premier League giants entered the final desperately seeking redemption after a disappointing domestic season. Beyond silverware, victory also guaranteed a coveted spot in next season’s Champions League. Johnson Breaks the Deadlock The only goal of the night came in the first half, when Brennan Johnson capitalised on a defensive scramble in the box to poke the ball past United goalkeeper Andre Onana. Spurs maintained their slender lead despite a spirited second-half push from Ruben Amorim’s United side. United Come Close, but Spurs Hold Firm Bruno Fernandes came closest to finding an equaliser for United, delivering a floated free-kick that met Leny Yoro’s outstretched foot, only for Guglielmo Vicario to pull off a brilliant save. Moments later, the Spurs keeper was beaten, but Micky van de Ven came to the rescue, acrobatically clearing Rasmus Højlund’s goal-bound header off the line. Despite the late pressure, Tottenham held on to secure the win and with it, their first European trophy in 40 years. End of a Trophy Drought The win marks Spurs’ first piece of silverware in 17 years and 86 days, ending a lengthy drought and delivering a historic night for the North London club.
