In the Europa League final ending in the early morning of May 22, Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United 1-0, and won the UEFA Cup championship again 41 years later, it also qualified to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season.

When the final whistle sounded, Son Heung-min was excited to hug his teammates one by one, and when he was in great affection, he shed tears. He cried with red eyes and buried his head on his teammates' shoulders for a long time. This scene was moving.

Son Heung-min waited too long at this moment because this was the 32-year-old Tottenham captain, the first championship trophy in his club career. Previously, Son Heung-min had never won the championship in Hamburg and Leverkusen.

In the summer of 2015, Son Heung-min transferred from Leverkusen to Tottenham for a transfer fee of 30 million euros. Since joining, Son Heung-min has played 454 games for Tottenham, scoring 173 goals and 101 assists. He is the club's legendary scorer in the past decade. However, it is regrettable that Son Heung-min had also tasted the bitterness of the crownless ones together with Kane at Tottenham.

Now, with Tottenham winning the Europa League, Son Heung-min has finally won his first championship in his club career. This is also the first championship in Son Heung-min's entire career. Before this, Son Heung-min's only honor was the 2018 Asian Games gold medal, but this honor was classified under the U23 national team and is not considered an adult national team.
