I am not fan of both teams. I just like to watch football. This is big day for Tottenham fans. They wait 17 years for trophy. ## What Happened in the Match The match was in Bilbao, Spain. Brennan Johnson scored the only goal in 42minute, His shot hit Luke Shaw and went in the net. It was lucky goal but we take it! I watch from my home on TV. The match was good to watch. I get excited when Johnson scored. Football is fun to watch. ## Match Stats from Flashscore ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeiKvNtL2np3A81UNB3jdmWaFoYYz4RfB58CW4Yv5E8Fa/image.png) _{Screenshot from [Flashscore](https://www.flashscore.com/} I looked at the stats on Flashscore.com after the match.

Now he left PSG to go to Real Madrid. Maybe PSG will win Champions League now that Mbappe is gone? Sometimes teams play better when big star leaves. The other players try harder. It happened with Tottenham too. We had Harry Kane for long time. He was our best player but we never won trophy. Now Kane left to Bayern Munich and we win Europa League! Is this just luck? Or do teams sometimes need to lose their biggest star to win big trophy? I don't know but it's interesting. ## Why This Win is Special Tottenham fans are very happy today. They wait so long for this. 17 years is too long without trophy! This win also means they play in Champions League next season. That's good because their Premier League season was bad. They finish 17th place. Manager Ange Postecoglou was under pressure. Now he is hero for Tottenham fans. ## Final Thoughts I am not Tottenham fan but I feel happy for them. Tottenham fans wait so long for this. 17 years is too long without trophy! The match was not easy to watch. Manchester United had more ball and more shots. But sometimes you just need to win. That's what Tottenham did. I think this is start of good times for Tottenham. Maybe they can win more trophies soon. --- *I watched this match at home on May 21, 2025.
