Son Heung-min, Brennan Johnson and Ange Postecoglou were in a triumphant mood as Tottenham departed Bilbao following their victory over Man United in the Europa League final.
Postecoglou’s side ended the club’s 17-year wait for a major trophy after beating Manchester United 1-0 following a first-half strike from Johnson on Wednesday night.
In addition to winning their first European trophy since 1984, Tottenham will now compete in next season’s Champions League after a disastrous Premier League campaign that sees them sit in 17th place heading into the final domestic weekend.
Postecoglou, having delivered on his promise to win a trophy in his second season at the club, emerged triumphant as Tottenham emerged from their Bilbao hotel.
The Tottenham boss gave a thumbs up to supporters who had gathered around the hotel to cheer the team, as they boarded the team bus to head back to the airport.
Club captain Son emerged wearing a club tracksuit with a South Korean flag tied around his waist.
The long-serving star was also seen holding a coffee as he walked to the bus, perhaps offering a boost following a night of celebrations which continued beyond 3am.
Matchwinner Johnson set the tone with the Welsh winger raising his arm in celebration as he departed the hotel.
The pose was replicated by James Maddison, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie as they greeted supporters.
Lucky fans were also given the opportunity to touch the Europa League trophy, which was brought out by a member of Tottenham staff.
The trophy was then packed into a suitcase, with Tottenham’s additional baggage placed onto the team bus to head back to north London.
