Gareth Bale gave Son Heung-min the best compliment.
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final in the 2024-25 season in San Mames, located in Bilbao, Spain, at 4 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea time). Tottenham lifted the trophy for the first time in 17 years since winning the 2007-08 League Cup.
The trophy also meant a lot to Son. Since his professional debut in Hamburg in 2010, Son has continued his professional career for 15 years with Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham. During that time, he steadily accumulated personal achievements by being named the top scorer in the Premier League and 30 Ballon d'Or candidates.
The only thing he lacked was a "trophy." Son was particularly far from winning. The closest he came to winning was unfortunately the runner-up in the PL in 2016-17 and the runner-up in the UCL in 2018-19. Son devoted himself to Tottenham for 10 years, but failed to lift a single trophy.
However, there was no disagreement that Son Heung-min was Tottenham's "legend." Nevertheless, Son Heung-min did not call himself a legend. Son Heung-min has consistently expressed his position that he cannot call himself a legend because he has not been able to lead Tottenham to victory.
And today, he called himself a legend. Tottenham defended Manchester United well throughout the first half. Brennan Johnson scored the first goal at 42 minutes in the first half. Son Heung-min stepped on the ground at 21 minutes in the second half. Then Tottenham completely got down and blocked Manchester United's unilateral attack, ultimately winning 1-0.
Immediately after the match, Son hugged his teammates and shed tears. He finally recognized himself as a legend. In an interview with TNT Sports of the U.K., Son said, "Can't you call me a legend today? Why not? Because no one has done it for 17 years. For today, at this moment with great players, I think I can call myself a legend of the club." 카지노
Bale, who briefly played with Son at Tottenham in the past, also praised Son. Bale remains a legend between Tottenham and Real Madrid, and he specially provided commentary on the match. "He is the most loved player in soccer," Bale said to Son. "He is a legend who has devoted himself to Tottenham," he said, giving a short and thick compliment.
