BILBAO: Brennan Johnson’s scrambled goal ended a 17-year Tottenham trophy drought with a battling 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final on Wednesday. Spurs, who had not won European silverware since 1984, will play in next season’s Champions League, while failing to qualify for it is a severe financial set-back for Manchester United. Despite their triumph in Bilbao, manager Ange Postecoglou’s future is still on the line following a shambolic domestic campaign, with Spurs sitting a place below United in the lower reaches of the Premier League table. The Australian furiously insisted he was “not a clown” on the eve of the final and had the last laugh on a nerve-racking night at the San Mames, as he made good on his claim to always win a trophy in his second season in charge of a club. “This is what it’s all about, this club hasn’t won a trophy for 17 years, honestly, this is what it means, it means so much,” Wales winger Johnson told TNT Sports. “Ever since I came here it’s been (people saying) ‘Tottenham are a good team, but they never get it done’ — we got it done!“ Fans came from far and wide to pack Athletic Bilbao’s stadium, some taking quite preposterous routes and sleeping in cars to avoid eye-watering prices, but they could not escape a final lacking in quality.

Jos Buttler's absence in the knockout stages may expose Gujarat Titans' middle order but the assistant coach Matthew Wade feels it also presents an opportunity for others to make a "big impact". GT's top-order trio of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Buttler has been instrumental in their campaign, with all three scoring over 500 runs this season. However, GT will miss Buttler's services in the playoffs, with the Englishman set to return for national duty after their final league game against Chennai Super Kings on May 25.

Pat Cummins' SunRisers Hyderabad is already out of the IPL 2025. While much was expected from the star-studded team, the 2024 IPL finalists could not deliver the result and were knocked out from the playoff race much early. However, with a veteran allrounder like Cummins guiding the side, there is hope that the SRH will bounce back in style in the next editions. The sense of humour in the team has not disappeared though.
