Tottenham Hotspur reached the Europa League final on Thursday, defeating Bodo/Glimt 2-0 in the second leg of their semi-final in Norway to complete a 5-1 aggregate victory. The final will be against Manchester United in Bilbao on 21 May. Despite their 16th-place standing in the Premier League, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou took a dig at critics who have mocked his team, saying they have earned the right to be in the final. Postecoglou has been criticized for Tottenham's form, losing key players to injury, and his statement about winning trophies during his second season at a club. This victory marks Postecoglou's second season at Spurs, and he is just one game away from delivering a trophy. The last time Spurs won a trophy was in 2008, and they have lost three finals and been beaten in three semi-finals since then. The Europa League final win would be Spurs' sixth European final, their last being in 2019 when they lost to Liverpool in the Champions League. This victory is crucial for Tottenham, as Postecoglou's whole season and career depend on it, as failure to win could lead to a restructure.
