Tottenham are Europa League winners. Ange Postecoglou has silverware in his second season. Champions League football returns.
The joy of being victorious in such a scrappy game was unbridled for the Spurs players and coaching staff. Postecoglou raised his arms at full-time, turning to face the stands with fists clenched and aloft.
Brennan Johnson, the matchwinner, will be written into club folklore. His celebration after diverting Pape Matar Sarr’s first-half cross was just the start on an emotional night in Bilbao.
Daniel Levy was there to witness it. Just you try telling the thousands of Tottenham fans in Spain (or those back home watching at the stadium) that this is a season to forget. It’s now one to remember forever.
After 17 years, Tottenham have a major trophy in their cabinet. They condemned Manchester United to a totally shocking campaign of their own during the process.
It was a glorious spectacle. Here, football.london has the best of the photos on an evening which will be cemented into the annals of time.
