A strange scene in European football: the league relegation team goes straight to the Champions League, with many outrageous records born, Asian football becomes the biggest winner

In the early morning of May 22, a Premier League civil war was staged in the final of the UEFA Cup, but the most absurd script in football was born - Tottenham, who ranked 17th in the Premier League, defeated Manchester United 1-0, not only won the UEFA Cup championship for the third time in the team's history, but also directly reached the next season's Champions League with a record of fourth to the league! This victory ended Tottenham's 17-year championship drought and set several outrageous records. Asia's No. 1 Son Heung-min finally realized his dream after playing for nearly ten years and shed tears on the podium.

1. Son Heung-min: From the "Premier League Golden Boot" to the captain's cup

, this game is of great significance to South Korean star Son Heung-min. As the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, he finally won his first championship trophy in his 10th year of his career. When he joined in 2015, 23-year-old Son Heung-min was just a potential star, and now at the age of 32, he has become the soul of the team.

Although he appeared on the bench in this game, when he put on the captain's armband and raised the UEFA Cup, the camera captured the scene of him being excited and crying. From the young boy in Bundesliga Hamburg to the UEFA Champions League, Son Heung-min's persistence finally paid off today.

2. Win the fourth last championship in the Premier League? Tottenham has set a record for the lowest league rankings in the European Cup in UEFA Cup history. You should know that when Tottenham won the Europa League twice (1972 and 1984), they were still the strong team in England's top league, but now they win the championship as a "relegation team".

Premier League fans joked: "Spurs have proved with practical actions that what about the Premier League relegation team? They are still the top star in the European arena!" And their championship also broke an embarrassing record - since winning the League Cup in 2008, Tottenham Hotspur won the championship trophy again after 17 years.

3. How outrageous is the game? The goalkeeper's mistake + the god's goal

This final can be regarded as a model of "pegging each other". In the 41st minute, Tottenham midfielder Saal made a cross, Manchester United defender Luke Shaw made a mistake in clearing, and the ball rebounded and was shot from close range by Johnson. Manchester United's best chance came in the second half: Vicario lost his hand in the save, and Hoylen headed the ball against an empty goal and was finally cleared by Tottenham defender Van Devin! In addition, Manchester United completed 20 shots in the whole game but only shot directly, and eventually became a "Champions League ticket courier."

4. Mourinho's successor becomes the winner

Tottenham coach Postkoglu became the biggest winner. This Australian coach not only won the first European championship in his coaching career, but also set a precedent for Premier League teams to go directly to the Champions League with the lowest league ranking.

In contrast, Manchester United's failure is even more embarrassing - the league ranked 16th and the Europa League runner-up made them completely miss the European game next season. This is the first time the Red Devils missed the European arena since the 2014-15 season. After the game, head coach Amorin said that if Manchester United asks him to be dismissed immediately, he will immediately leave for free.

5. Controversy and records have flew together

Tottenham's championship win has caused multiple controversies. They became the most "water" champion after the reform of the UEFA Cup. As the lower-level teams in the five major league standings, Tottenham entered the Champions League through the UEFA Cup "save the country in a curve" and became a role model for the relegation team to counterattack.

, and Manchester United set a shameful record: 20 losses in a single season set the worst performance in team history, and was killed by Tottenham in various competitions.

The loopholes in the Champions League rules are also speechless. Tottenham, who almost relegated in the Premier League, can actually participate in the top European football event - the Champions League next season.

However, this is the charm of football. Tottenham proved with a grassroots victory: in European football, you will never guess the final script. As for the Champions League next season, this "relegation team" will continue to stage myths, let us be laughed at and can only leave time to verify.
