Tottenham's Son Heung-min pursues 1st trophy in Europa League final vs. Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur's Korean captain Son Heung-min will be chasing his first trophy this week, with his club taking on Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Europa League in Spain. The one-and-done final will kick off at 9 p.m. Wednesday at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao (4 a.m. Thursday in Korea). Spurs are trying to win their first trophy since winning the English Football League (EFL) Cup in the 2007-08 season. A victory over the fellow Premier League side will also put Spurs in the top continental competition, the UEFA Champions League, for the 2025-26 season. Son himself has yet to win a trophy in his European club career, which began in 2010 with Hamburger SV in Germany. He has been with Tottenham since 2015. The Europa League showdown will be Son's third tournament final with Spurs. They were the runners-up at both the 2019 UEFA Champions League and the 2021 EFL Cup. Tottenham will look to salvage an otherwise disappointing season. They are currently in 17th place in the 20-team Premier League and have already set franchise marks for the fewest points (38) and the most losses (21)Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
