Harry Kane Congratulates Tottenham After Ending 17-Year Trophy Drought with Europa League Win

Harry Kane Congratulates Tottenham After Ending 17-Year Trophy Drought with Europa League Win.

Finally, Tottenham Hotspur’s long wait is over! After 17 years without a trophy, Spurs made history by winning the 2025 Europa League, beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final.

This victory is more than just any trophy — it’s Tottenham’s first European title since 1984. It’s no surprise that fans are celebrating this moment wildly, especially since Spurs had often been teased by rivals for their long trophy drought.

Interestingly, one of Tottenham’s all-time legends, Harry Kane, took to social media to send his congratulations. Even though he no longer wears the Spurs jersey, his support felt genuine and heartfelt.

For those who don’t know, Kane spent 11 seasons at Tottenham from 2012 to 2023. He played 317 Premier League matches and became the club’s all-time top scorer with 280 goals across all competitions. Unfortunately, during his time with Spurs, Kane never managed to win a trophy.

It wasn’t until he moved to Bayern Munich at the start of the 2023/2024 season that Kane finally lifted his first major trophy — winning the Bundesliga in 2025.

Many would say watching Tottenham lift the Europa League trophy must have been bittersweet for Kane — sweet because his former club finally succeeded, but also a bit painful since he wasn’t part of that historic moment.

Still, Kane showed maturity and great sportsmanship. Through his social media posts, he congratulated Tottenham and their fans on their amazing achievement in the Europa League.

Tottenham’s Europa League triumph could be a turning point for the club’s future. It proves that hard work and patience do pay off. And even though Kane has moved on to a new chapter with Bayern, his legacy at Spurs lives on — he remains respected and remembered as an irreplaceable club icon.

Tottenham’s Europa League final victory isn’t just a historic moment; it’s an emotional one, especially for former players like Harry Kane. His heartfelt congratulations show how much he still loves his old club, even from afar.

Tottenham Ends Trophy Drought! Beats Manchester United 1-0 in Tense Europa League Final

Tottenham Ends Trophy Drought! Beats Manchester United 1-0 in Tense Europa League Final
Tottenham Hotspur finally ended their 17-year trophy drought by winning the 2025 Europa League final, defeating Manchester United 1-0 at San Mames, Bilbao. Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of the match, securing a historic European title for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou. With this victory, Tottenham fans celebrate a long-awaited moment of glory, while Manchester United faces another season of disappointment.

Finally, after 17 long years, Tottenham Hotspur can finally celebrate! Ange Postecoglou’s team claimed the 2025 Europa League title with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Manchester United at San Mames, Bilbao, in a dramatic and intense final.

A single goal from Brennan Johnson sealed the victory on what became a historic night for Spurs. While the match wasn’t the most thrilling in terms of gameplay, the result is one that Tottenham fans will cherish forever.

The winning goal came just before halftime. It all started with a cross from Pape Matar Sarr on the left. Brennan Johnson flicked it near the goal, and the ball deflected off Luke Shaw, fooling goalkeeper Andre Onana who was left helpless.

Manchester United had several chances to equalize, but their finishing let them down. Bruno Fernandes failed to convert a golden opportunity, and Rasmus Hojlund almost scored — if not for a heroic goal-line clearance by Micky van de Ven.

In the second half, United pushed even harder, but still couldn’t break through Tottenham’s solid defense. In the dying minutes, Garnacho’s shot and Shaw’s header were both denied by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who stayed calm and composed throughout the night.

Before the final, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou was doubted by many in the media. But tonight, he silenced all the critics. This was his 100th match in charge of Tottenham — and he capped it off with the club’s first European trophy since 1984!

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Ange has delivered silverware in his second season. He’s done it in Australia, Japan, and Scotland — always lifting titles in his sophomore year. So when he said, "the second season is the time to win," he really meant it.

Even though Tottenham has struggled in the Premier League, this Europa League title brings immense joy to their fans. It might just be the most beautiful night in the club’s modern history.

On the flip side, it was heartbreak for Manchester United. What once looked like a promising season ended in bitter disappointment.

Coach Ruben Amorim is now under the microscope. His brutally honest approach — even calling United "the worst team in the club’s history" at one point — may have backfired.

United had 16 attempts in the match, but only a couple truly threatened Spurs’ goal. Their expected goals (xG) stood at just 0.85 — far from enough for a team desperate for a win. To make matters worse, this was their 20th loss across all competitions this season — their worst record since their relegation season in 1974.

Tottenham has ended their trophy drought and written a new chapter in their European history. Meanwhile, Manchester United continues to spiral in a season filled with setbacks.

This title is about more than just a win on the scoresheet. It’s about rebuilding hope, igniting fresh ambition, and proving that hard work and patience can pay off.

For Spurs fans, the night in Bilbao will never be forgotten. For United, it’s time for serious reflection.

Lamine Yamal Set to Sign New Barcelona Contract, Joan Laporta Super Confident

Lamine Yamal Set to Sign New Barcelona Contract, Joan Laporta Super Confident.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has shared some exciting news for Barça fans: the club is working hard behind the scenes to secure a contract extension for none other than Lamine Yamal, and things are looking really good.

Yamal, who’s set to turn 18 this July, is expected to sign a new long-term deal with the club during the offseason. After a breakout season, the young star has quickly become one of Barcelona’s most important players — and Laporta knows it.

With 18 goals and 21 assists across all competitions this season, Yamal has proven he’s the real deal. Only Raphinha has more assists than him (22), and that says a lot.

Laporta couldn’t stop praising the youngster.

“It’s going well. He’s exceptional. And most importantly, he’s happy at Barça,” Laporta said in an interview with TV3.

“When you have a player like Lamine, who’s exploded onto the scene like he has, you have to treat him in a special way. He’s not your average player.”

Laporta also emphasized that everything with Yamal’s team has been smooth so far, and he’s confident the renewal will be wrapped up soon.

“We want him here for many years. Our long-term approach is key. So far, there’s been no issues at all. On the contrary, things are going great,” he added.

Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong Also in Contract Talks

Yamal isn’t the only player Barça wants to lock down for the future. Laporta also gave updates on Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong, two more key figures in the squad.

Raphinha had a monster season — 56 appearances, 34 goals, and 22 assists. That’s 56 goal contributions, making him the most productive LaLiga player across all competitions this season. Impressive, right?

“Raphinha’s new deal will happen,” said Laporta. “Deco has a great relationship with him. He feels fully invested in the project. We’ll find an agreement — both sides want to make it work.”

When it comes to Frenkie de Jong, things are a bit more urgent. His current contract runs out next year, and Barça isn’t taking any chances.

“Frenkie knows where we stand. We’ve had conversations. He’s very motivated and wants to stay. We love the Dutch style of play, and with Frenkie, we control the game better,” Laporta explained.

With rising superstar Lamine Yamal, fan favorite Raphinha, and midfield maestro Frenkie de Jong all in line for contract renewals, things are really coming together for Barcelona. Locking down these key players is a huge step forward as the club continues to rebuild with a strong foundation.

So, for Barça fans — get excited. The future is bright, and it’s being built around young talent that’s already making headlines.

Kevin De Bruyne Almost as Good as Messi at Passing, Says Pep Guardiola

Kevin De Bruyne Almost as Good as Messi at Passing, Says Pep Guardiola.

As the Premier League season nears its end, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had nothing but praise for Kevin De Bruyne. But while he called De Bruyne a phenomenal passer, Guardiola still placed him second-best — behind none other than Lionel Messi.

De Bruyne: World-Class, But Not No. 1

Pep has worked with some of the best midfielders in the world, including Xavi, Iniesta, and David Silva. Yet when asked who the greatest passer he’s coached is, his answer was clear: “Messi is first, Kevin De Bruyne is second.”

According to Guardiola, Messi stands out because of his ability to deliver mind-blowing passes in the most dangerous areas of the field — right near the opponent’s box. That said, De Bruyne is not far behind.

“Kevin is unique,” Pep said. “Just look at the stats — goals, assists, what he creates in the final third. That’s why he’s been one of the greatest players in this club’s history.”

The End of an Era at Manchester City

Last month, De Bruyne announced that he would leave Manchester City at the end of the season, once his contract expires. After 10 unforgettable years in a City shirt and helping the club win 16 trophies, his final home appearance will likely come against Bournemouth in their second-to-last Premier League match.

Under Guardiola, De Bruyne has made 258 league appearances, delivered 109 assists, and completed over 10,600 of his 12,889 passes with 82.4% accuracy. Even in the attacking half, he maintains a solid 80% pass accuracy.

For comparison, Messi made 136 LaLiga appearances for Pep’s Barcelona, completing 6,354 of 7,479 passes (85% accuracy) and notching 55 assists during that time.

Finding a Replacement? Easier Said Than Done

Manchester City had reportedly shown interest in Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White as potential replacements for De Bruyne. But it seems the club has backed off from pursuing Wirtz.

Guardiola admitted that filling De Bruyne’s shoes won’t be easy.

“Some players are just incredibly hard to replace — and Kevin is definitely one of them,” said Pep. “But football moves on, and so do we.”

Kevin De Bruyne’s departure will undoubtedly leave a huge gap in Manchester City’s midfield. But his legacy is set in stone. According to Pep Guardiola, only Messi tops him when it comes to passing and playmaking. For City fans and football lovers everywhere, De Bruyne will always be remembered as one of the game’s modern-day maestros.

Angel Gomes Confirms Lille Exit: Manchester United and Tottenham Among Clubs Eyeing His Return

Angel Gomes Confirms Lille Exit: Manchester United and Tottenham Among Clubs Eyeing His Return.

Angel Gomes has officially announced that he’ll be leaving Lille as a free agent when his contract expires this summer. The 24-year-old midfielder shared an emotional farewell message on social media, opening the door for a potential return to the Premier League—with Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle, and West Ham all reportedly interested.

For those who may not know, Gomes came up through Manchester United’s academy, joining at the age of six. Once seen as a future star for the Red Devils, he left the club in 2020 to seek more first-team opportunities elsewhere.

His journey took him to Portugal for a loan spell with Boavista, and eventually to Lille. Under manager Paulo Fonseca, Gomes gradually found his rhythm and became a key figure in the midfield. His impressive performances even earned him a senior England call-up in September.

Unfortunately, injuries hampered the second half of his season, and once it became clear he wouldn’t renew his contract, he was mostly used as a substitute.

In his farewell message, Gomes wrote:“After four unforgettable years at LOSC Lille, it’s time for me to say goodbye. This club has been more than just a team—it’s been family, a home, and a place that’s shaped me on and off the pitch.”

He continued:“There were highs and lows, but I’m truly thankful to my teammates and fans who stood by me through everything. I gave everything I had for the badge and for you. Lille will always hold a special place in my heart.”

As for his next move? That’s still up in the air. A return to Manchester United has been rumored, while Tottenham have been long-time admirers. Newcastle and West Ham are also said to be monitoring his situation.

While a move back to the Premier League seems likely, Gomes has previously said that living and playing abroad helped him grow in many ways. Earlier this season, he reflected:

“Playing in the Premier League would be amazing, but it’s not the end-all, be-all. Moving abroad helped me improve on and off the field.”

That said, when asked about possibly rejoining Manchester United, Gomes didn’t hold back:

“There’ll always be that soft spot for United. So yeah, it’d be hard to say no.”

Wherever he ends up, one thing’s for sure—Angel Gomes will be one of the hottest free agents to watch this summer.

Ruben Amorim Almost Quit Manchester United? Inside the Toughest Season in Red Devils' History

Ruben Amorim Almost Quit Manchester United? Inside the Toughest Season in Red Devils' History.

Manchester United is once again making headlines — but unfortunately, not for the right reasons. Instead of celebrating success, fans are dealing with one of the club’s worst seasons ever. And here’s the shocker: Head coach Ruben Amorim reportedly almost walked away from it all.

Yep, you read that right. According to a report from ESPN, Amorim seriously considered resigning back in mid-January. At that point, United had only one win from eight games, and a crushing 3-1 home defeat to Brighton seemed to break his spirit.

Things were so bad that Amorim publicly called his squad "maybe the worst team in Manchester United’s history." It was a brutal but honest take that showed just how deep the problems ran at Old Trafford.

He Nearly Walked Away, But the Club Held Him Back

Although no official resignation ever took place, Amorim was reportedly on the edge. What stopped him? According to the report, close associates and even top executives like CEO Omar Berrada stepped in to convince him to stay and keep fighting.

That faith might just pay off. Despite a dismal Premier League campaign, United somehow clawed their way into the Europa League final, where they’ll take on Tottenham Hotspur. A European trophy seemed like a far-fetched dream just a few months ago, but now it’s within reach.

It’s Not Just About Him — Amorim Questions the Club’s Direction

Amorim’s concerns weren’t only about his own position. The Portuguese coach is also said to have serious doubts about the club’s ability to rebuild its squad in the upcoming transfer window.

Sure, there are already reports of United lining up two new forwards. But Amorim isn’t convinced that new signings alone can fix the deep-rooted issues.

“There are some things we can’t change in the summer,” he recently said. “The feeling inside the club, the way we see ourselves — that needs to change too. It’s deeper than just transfers.”

Now He's Embracing the Challenge — But His Job Still Isn’t Safe

Fast forward a few months, and Amorim seems to have grown into the role. The 40-year-old is reportedly embracing the massive challenge and even “loves” what he’s doing — a big shift from when he was ready to quit.

Still, nothing is guaranteed. If United finish in the bottom five of the Premier League and lose the Europa League final, club leadership may decide it's time for a fresh start, no matter how much Amorim has adapted.

There’s Still Hope, But Time Is Ticking

This season might go down as one of the darkest in Manchester United history. But there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel — and that light is the Europa League final.

Ruben Amorim almost gave up. But he stayed, pushed through the crisis, and now has a shot at European glory. The big question is: will that be enough to save his job and restore United’s pride?

Alex Marquez Emerges as a Top Contender at the 2025 British GP, Ready to Challenge for Victory

Alex Marquez Emerges as a Top Contender at the 2025 British GP, Ready to Challenge for Victory.

This weekend’s MotoGP British Grand Prix at Silverstone is shaping up to be exciting, especially with Alex Marquez stepping into the spotlight. Riding for Gresini Ducati, Alex is seen as a serious threat as he aims to close the points gap in the 2025 MotoGP championship standings.

So far this season, Alex has been one of the fastest riders on the grid. He’s even led the championship twice, showing strong consistency. One of his career highlights came at last year’s Spanish GP, where he took his first MotoGP victory by taking advantage of his brother Marc Marquez crashing out early from a podium spot.

However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way. At the recent French GP in wet conditions at Le Mans, Alex crashed and lost valuable points, which now puts him 22 points behind his older brother Marc in the championship race.

Heading into Silverstone, Marc believes the fast-flowing nature of the British track suits Alex’s riding style perfectly. “We’ve shown good speed at all the circuits,” Marc said. “Qatar was a key race for me, and now at Silverstone, I expect Alex to be super fast there.”

Marc added that Silverstone’s layout, with its flowing corners, should be better for Alex compared to the tricky wet conditions at Le Mans. “It normally fits his riding style better,” he said.

Marc’s goal is to stay close to the top riders and to test the improvements they worked on during the Jerez test. “Let’s see if Silverstone works out, since it’s a completely different track and requires a unique riding style.”

Alex has a solid record at Silverstone on the Gresini Ducati. Last year, he finished sixth in the sprint race and seventh in the main race. In 2023, he impressed by winning the sprint race in wet conditions, marking one of his best Saturday performances.

Even back in 2021, during a tough season on the Honda with LCR, Silverstone was a highlight, as Alex finished eighth — one of his better results that year.

For MotoGP fans, Silverstone is definitely a race to watch, especially to see how Alex Marquez pushes to close the gap and fight for a victory.

Aston Villa are set to host Tottenham Hotspur in a crucial Premier League match on Friday night, May 17, 2025, at 1:30 AM WIB at Villa Park, Birmingham. This game is super important for Villa as they fight for a Champions League spot next season.

Aston Villa Update: Full Focus on the Top 4 Battle

Unai Emery’s squad has been in solid form. They're currently 6th in the table, tied on points with teams above and just 3 points behind 3rd-place Newcastle. A win over Spurs could really boost their chances of cracking the top five.

They’ve secured back-to-back 1-0 wins over Fulham and Bournemouth, showing better discipline defensively. Expect Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers to lead the charge again, especially against a shaky Tottenham backline.

Tottenham: Eyes on the Europa League Final

Tottenham’s priority seems pretty clear right now—they're gearing up for the Europa League final against Manchester United next week in Bilbao. Sitting 17th in the league with nothing much to fight for, they’ll likely rotate heavily for this match.

Several key players like Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Lucas Bergvall are sidelined with injuries. And with the final looming, Ange Postecoglou could rest even more starters.

7-Goal Thriller! Inter Milan Knock Out Barcelona in Champions League Quarterfinal Showdown

7-Goal Thriller! Inter Milan Knock Out Barcelona in Champions League Quarterfinal Showdown
7-Goal Thriller! Inter Milan Knock Out Barcelona in Champions League Quarterfinal Showdown.

The second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal between Inter Milan and Barcelona on May 7, 2025, was an absolute rollercoaster! Both teams went all in for 120 minutes, but in the end, Inter came out on top with a dramatic 4-3 win, sealing a 7-6 aggregate victory.

First Half: Inter Take Control Early

Inter wasted no time and struck first in the 21st minute with a clinical finish from Lautaro Martinez, assisted by Denzel Dumfries. Just before halftime, Hakan Calhanoglu doubled Inter’s lead with a coolly taken penalty in stoppage time (45'+1).

Barcelona struggled to get into rhythm during the first half, and Inter looked fully in charge.

Second Half: Barca Comeback Sparks Chaos

After the break, Barcelona came out swinging. Eric Garcia pulled one back in the 54th minute with a powerful header. Then, in the 60th minute, Dani Olmo leveled the score at 2-2 after a slick through-ball from Gavi.

Barcelona kept the pressure on, and in the 87th minute, Raphinha scored to put Barca in front 3-2. But just when they thought it was over…

Late Equalizer Forces Extra Time

Francesco Acerbi stunned the visitors with a clutch goal in the 90'+3 minute, bringing the score to 3-3 and forcing extra time in one of the wildest matches of the season.

Extra Time: Frattesi Seals It for Inter

In the first half of extra time, Davide Frattesi stepped up and scored the decisive goal in the 99th minute. Inter led 4-3, and that score held until the final whistle, sending the Italian side into the semifinals.

Match Stats: Barca Dominates Possession, But Inter Finishes Better

Statistically, Barcelona controlled the match with 63% possession and 22 total shots (10 on target), compared to Inter’s 13 shots (7 on target). But in the end, it was Inter’s sharp finishing that made the difference.

Key Stats:

  • Possession: Inter 37% - 63% Barcelona

  • Total shots: Inter 13 - 22 Barcelona

  • Shots on target: Inter 7 - 10 Barcelona

  • Final score: Inter 4 - 3 Barcelona (Aggregate: 7 - 6)

Toprak Razgatlioglu, the reigning World Superbike champion, had another tough weekend at the Italian round of WorldSBK, held at the Cremona circuit. Despite finishing second in all three races, Toprak admitted that his BMW still struggles with rear grip, making it hard for him to truly challenge Nicolo Bulega’s Ducati.

And yeah, Bulega is absolutely on fire right now! The Ducati rider bagged a triple win this weekend, stretching his points lead over Toprak from just 21 to 34. Toprak gave it everything he had, but Bulega’s Ducati clearly has the edge—especially on corner exits.

“It’s been a tough weekend for me, honestly. I didn’t race here last year, so I was kind of blind going in. But the team worked really hard, and we tried a lot of things,” Toprak said after Race 2, quoted by WorldSBK.com.

The main issue? You guessed it—rear grip. Without it, the bike just can’t accelerate properly. Toprak was able to stick with Bulega early on in the races, but once the rear tire started to drop off, the Ducati took off without mercy.

“All I want is that top spot. But man, it’s really hard because Ducati has a clear advantage here, especially coming out of corners. My bike just doesn’t have enough grip, so I can’t accelerate the way I need to,” he added.

Still, Toprak gave props to his team for their hard work and the results they did manage to pull off. Finishing second three times in one weekend is no easy feat—especially with how hard he fought in every single lap.

“But hey, we did our best and pushed in every lap. Finishing second is better than nothing. Those points are important for the championship, so now we look ahead to Most.”

To make things even tougher, Toprak revealed that he had to take huge risks just to keep up with Bulega. From the rear starting to slide to the front losing grip too—it was a wild ride.

“Every race, I could stay close to Nicolo in the early laps. But once the rear tire started to fade, Ducati pulled ahead. I kept pushing, but then I started losing front grip too. So yeah, there were some sectors where I could catch him, but in others, he was just stronger.”

Even though he hasn’t won yet, Toprak is staying positive. His podium consistency is a key weapon in the championship fight.

Toprak Razgatlioglu is definitely going through a rough patch with his BMW. That rear grip issue is still a huge problem, especially when going up against a red-hot Ducati in the hands of Nicolo Bulega. But despite all the challenges, Toprak keeps showing his champion mindset—never giving up and always chasing solutions. The next round in Most could be a turning point. Will Toprak fix the grip issue and stage a comeback, or will Ducati keep running away with it?

We’ll see, bro! One thing’s for sure—WorldSBK is getting more intense than ever!
