Anyway, back to Tottenham — whose own European trophy feels a very long time ago now.
Indeed, head coach Roberto De Zerbi even said earlier this week that avoiding relegation would be more important for the club than last year’s Europa League victory in the Spanish city of Bilbao:
💬 “(Today) is the final for Tottenham, not in Bilbao against Manchester United. The most important game is (today) because last season they played for the trophy, now we play for something more important.
“Because the pride, the history of the club, the dignity are more important than the trophy. The trophy you can win, you can lose, nothing changes in your life.
“You can have one trophy more, but the most important is to keep the dignity, to keep the pride, to go on holiday like this (head up), and not like this (head down).”
