Tottenham Hotspur Clinches Europa League Title, Featuring Korean Stars Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk in Victory Celebration
Tottenham Hotspur has secured the Europa League (UEL) championship for the 2024-2025 season, marking a notable triumph for the club and its Korean contingent. Captain Son Heung-min played a key role in the victory, and was joined on the podium during the trophy ceremony by fellow Korean prospect Yang min-hyuk.
This UEL victory allows Son Heung-min to replicate past glories. Yang Min-hyuk, who transferred to Queens Park Rangers (England) in January after initially joining Tottenham, was part of the squad that achieved this European silverware, although he did not participate in the Champions League (UCL) this season. The presence of two Korean players celebrating a major European trophy underscores a notable moment for Korean football.
Son Heung-min was substituted in the 33rd minute of the match. During his time on the field, he recorded a 75% pass success rate and achieved a dribble breakthrough. Yang Min-hyuk was listed as a substitute but did not enter the game.
Under the management of Thomas Frank, Tottenham’s performance has drawn praise. While Ange Postecoglou was previously credited with leading the team to a European trophy, the current iteration under Frank is described by the British Metro as a more cohesive and organized unit.
Following their UEL success, tottenham is scheduled to arrive in Korea via Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of August 2nd. They are set to play two matches as part of the 2025 Coupang Play Series: the first against Newcastle (England) on August 3rd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Tottenham will also compete in the UEFA Super Cup against the UEFA Champions League (UCL) champions, Paris Saint-Germain (France). This fixture is anticipated to feature a confrontation between Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk of Tottenham and Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain.
