Tottenham Wins Europa League, UEFA Runs Out of Medals at Ceremony

Tottenham Hotspur ended a 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League final 1-0 against Manchester United, with Brennan Johnson scoring the decisive goal. The victory was emotionally significant for captain Son Heung-min, who had been with the club for nearly a decade and finally secured a major title, although an embarrassing medal shortage at the ceremony left Son and some teammates without medals initially. UEFA officials ran out of gold medals during the awards, causing a notable blunder as some backup players received medals while key players like Son, Cristian Romero, and Rodrigo Bentancur did not. Despite the mishap, UEFA later provided extra medals to Tottenham to ensure all players and staff could commemorate the win. The win also marked a vindication for manager Ange Postecoglou, who delivered his first trophy at Tottenham despite a challenging league season. The final sparked both jubilant celebrations and unusual moments, including injured players celebrating in full kit and a peculiar pitch invasion at Tottenham's stadium.
