'Every rehab session was worth it'published at 10:19 British Summer Time 22 May

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven spoke to TNT Sports about the delight in winning the Europa League after an injury-ravaged season:
"Unbelievable feeling. Can't really describe it to be honest. We always believed in this squad, everybody kept believing even if we had a tough season. The fans, everybody deserves this.
"I saw the ball came in and I think it bounced off Vic's (Guglielmo Vicario) head and I was like I have to go to the goal, and at first I wasn't sure how I am going to do this and to be honest the ground over there is not soft. Happy to help the team.
"Tough season for myself with injuries, didn't play a lot but every rehab session was worth it to stand here and lift this trophy."

Only one thing for Spurs now after the win. They’ve done it apart, now let’s get it together. Kane back home to get a trophy with us under Ange. COYS!

CD, London

Incredible what a trophy does. Ange was going to be run out of town a week ago. Maybe he knew what he was doing after all.

Murphy from Bedford

Even Levy and the board will not be so silly as to sack a manager who has just delivered Champions League football to a club who are no longer a top four or top five club.

Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

During the full-time celebrations James Maddison posed with this poster to back up Ange Postecoglou's second-season trophy claim.

In the early hours of this morning the Tottenham midfielder, who was injured for the final, posted on X: "I always win things in my second season. Bruhhhhhhhh."

He also added three laughing emojis for good measure.

Ange Postecoglou's second-season claim was bold, but it's worked out. And Maddison loves it.

Very happy for Spurs. Not just because they beat United, but because their fans deserve it. Madrid 2019 their fans were a credit to their club, handled themselves with complete dignity in defeat. Made up they’ve got a bit of silverware.
