Son Heung-Min Spurs 3am Post-Victory Celebrations with Kits-On Tottenham Squad at Bilbao Hotel
Tottenham Celebrates Europa League Triumph After 17-Year Trophy Drought
Heung-min Son’s long-awaited trophy lift came with an unexpected injury as Tottenham Hotspur clinched the Europa League title, their first major silverware since 1984. The Spurs captain accidentally hit his head on the “very, very heavy” trophy during chaotic post-match celebrations. Despite the bruise, Son beamed: “A dream come true. The luckiest, happiest guy in the world.”
The victory over Manchester United sparked wild scenes, with players partying until 3 a.m. at Bilbao’s Carlton Hotel. Yves Bissouma stole the show, shirtless and dancing through media corridors with a speaker strapped to his waist. Teammates Kevin Danso and Richarlison joined the festivities, the latter delivering a rare English interview post-match.
Inside the Celebrations
The dressing room erupted with champagne sprays and laughter. Defender Micky van de Ven brushed off future challenges, insisting, “We just want to celebrate.” Manager Ange Postecoglou, who retreated to his hotel room with Scotch to toast the win, later rallied the squad’s families at the after-party. “Outstanding people, not just players,” he declared, crediting their unity for overcoming a midseason injury crisis.

Family Motivation
Pre-match, Postecoglou surprised the squad with emotional video messages from loved ones. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario revealed his parents urged him to “fight for the badge,” while Son fought tears watching his family’s clip. “They deserve this trophy more than us,” the captain said.

Son’s Emotional Victory
The win marked Son’s first trophy in a decade at Spurs, completing a journey that included near-misses in the Premier League and Champions League. “I wanted this for the fans and my family,” he said, downplaying his role. “They’ve sacrificed everything.” Despite not starting the final, he embraced the team-first mentality: “No room for selfishness here.”
