Tottenham players’ WAGs were pictured flying out to Bilbao ahead of the Europa League final against Manchester United on Wednesday night.
A picture was posted to Instagram by Ioana Stan, the girlfriend of Spurs defender Radu Dragusin, before she jetted off to the Spanish city to support the Lilywhites.
While she was spotted jetting off to the Basque Country to cheer on Ange Postecoglou’s men, she will have to contend with her partner being unavailable for the crunch encounter.
Ioana joined Dragusin in London after he signed for Spurs mid-way through last season in the January transfer window.
She has previously posted pictures of her adjusting to life in England by playing the Tottenham Monopoly board game.
An aspiring architect who has been studying at university, Ioana has been featured on Dragusin’s Instagram page since 2021.

Dragusin had started all of Tottenham’s previous 14 Premier League games before suffering that setback earlier on in the season.
He had also started 21 out of 22 games for Spurs in all competitions between October 30 and January 26, coming on after 15 minutes in the other.
The game has an added layer of significance for both United and Spurs given that only the winner of the tie can secure Champions League football next season.
With the two teams sitting in 16th and 17th place in the Premier League respectively, one of them will miss out entirely on European football in 2025-26.
However, the winner of the Europa League is automatically granted entry into Europe’s elite club competition for the following campaign.
Ahead of the game, a supercomputer has predicted which side will come out on top in the contest.

The winner was generated by simulating the entire competition 1,000 times.
For each simulation, the code recorded where each team finished in the table and their likelihood of winning the trophy after each stage.
The results were then converted into percentages, showing the probability of each team finishing in each position in the league.
