Shows the level of our defence and why we need a massive reinforcements Gav HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Gareth Bale Former Tottenham winger on TNT Sports For a Spurs fan it doesn't matter. Spurs have probably been the better team. Any Tottenham fan will take any goal. HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Rio Ferdinand Former Man Utd defender on TNT Sports Patrick Dorgu at no point talks to Luke Shaw. Maybe it's inexperience. By the time he realises, it's too late and the ball ends up in the back of the net. HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Michael Brown Former Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live It has been a nervy first half, not a great watch. It's fast, you go, we go. Not many opportunities. Spurs put in the quality with the cross and you take the goal however it goes in. Manchester United need to do more, create more, have more control. #bbcfootball, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Hang on, when Johnson touched that ball it was going away from goal, then struck Shaw and went in with nobody else touching it. They’ve now awarded it to Johnson? Baffling. Keith, Leeds HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Kate Kopczyk BBC Sport in Bilbao That has livened the Spurs fans up - they are back in fine voice as the teams head in for half-time, bouncing up and down and waving their flags. Over on the other side, United fans are very subdued - waiting to see what their side can do in the next 45 minutes. Could be a similar feel in those dressing rooms now. HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Mark Chapman Presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live A scrappy game with a scrappy goal but Tottenham fans won't care will they? It's been awful. HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Paul Robinson Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at San Mames You look at the contrast between the two sets of supporters and you'd think the final whistle had gone. The United fans have gone off for their half-time refreshments, and the Tottenham fans are having a party. There is still a long way to go in this game though. HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Brennan Johnson - who is making his 50th appearance of the season for Tottenham tonight - is just the second Welshman to start in a Europa League final, after Simon Davies for Fulham in 2010 (v Atletico Madrid). HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Wait a minute Luke Shaw, I've got some (very slightly) good news for you. Our statisticians Opta have given the goal to Brennan Johnson now. No final own goal for you. HT: Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd That is the third own goal in a Europa League final after Romelu Lukaku in 2020 (Inter v Sevilla) and Gianluca Mancini in 2023 (Roma v Sevilla). How would you know the other Europa finals in a stat would involve Sevilla. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Tottenham Hotspur are 45 minutes away from a first trophy since 2008. And a place in the Champions League. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Cheers from the Spurs fans as Guglielmo Vicario catches a cross. Almost at the break now. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Simon Stone BBC Sport chief football news reporter in Bilbao I wasn't quite sure how Andre Onana got beaten at his near post in real time but the replay showed the ball take a big deflection off Shaw and the Manchester United keeper was always going to struggle to keep it out at such close range. I didn't think there would be many goals in this game. That one could be absolutely priceless. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Uefa are giving the goal to Brennan Johnson, although that might well change. It doesn't seem like he got a touch to poke it in on the line. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Paul Robinson Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at San Mames The game did need a goal. It wasn't pretty, it was scrappy, but those Tottenham fans won't mind. #bbcfootball, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Ed: If that is the winning goal it couldn't be more fitting for this final and for Spurs' season Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Sami Mokbel BBC Sport Senior football correspondent I’m not sure Brennan Johnson got a touch on that? Either way Luke Shaw won’t want to see that back again. Poor defending from the England defender there. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd Just two minutes added on.

This will be the fourth UEFA Europa League final to be contested between two sides from the same nation, after 2011 (Porto 1-0 Sporting Braga), 2012 (Atlético Madrid 3-0 Athletic Club), and 2019 (Chelsea 4-1 Arsenal). Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United’s only previous meeting in major European competition came in the 1963-64 Cup Winners’ Cup last 16, with the Red Devils progressing 4-3 on aggregate over two legs under Matt Busby. Tottenham Hotspur have won all three of their meetings with Manchester United in all competitions so far this season, twice in the Premier League (3-0 away, 1-0 home) and once in the League Cup (4-3 at home). The only opponent Spurs have ever won four games against in a single campaign were Manchester City in 1992-93, while the only side to beat the Red Devils four times in a single season were Everton in 1985-86. Manchester United are winless in their last six meetings with Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions (D2 L4), losing their last three in a row. The Red Devils have never gone seven without a win against Spurs before, and have also never lost four successive matches against them. Manchester United remain the only unbeaten side in major European competition this season, winning nine and drawing five of their 14 UEFA Europa League games. They are looking to become only the fourth side to win the Europa League without losing a single match that campaign, after Chelsea in 2018-19, Villarreal in 2020-21, and Eintracht Frankfurt in 2021-22. Tottenham Hotspur are looking to win their first major trophy since the 2007-08 League Cup under Juande Ramos, 17 years and 86 days prior to this UEFA Europa League final. Spurs’ last major European title was the 1983-84 UEFA Cup under Keith Burkinshaw, 40 years and 363 days ago. This will be Manchester United’s ninth major European final, with only Liverpool (15) reaching more among English clubs. The Red Devils have failed to win three of their last four such finals – Barcelona in the 2008-09 and 2010-11 UEFA Champions Leagues, and Villarreal in the 2020-21 UEFA Europa League – winning the other 2-0 against Ajax in the 2016-17 Europa League. Tottenham Hotspur have won the UEFA Cup/Europa League twice previously (1972, 1984), while victory here would see them become the second English club to win it three times, along with Liverpool. The only side to win the competition on more than three occasions are Sevilla (7). Tottenham Hotspur have won nine of their 14 matches in this season’s UEFA Europa League (D3 L2), their most ever wins in a single campaign in major European competition, overtaking their eight in 1971-72, 1973-74, and 2006-07 (all UEFA Cup). Manchester United have scored 35 goals in this season’s UEFA Europa League; the only sides ever to score more in a single UEFA Cup/Europa League campaign are Borussia Mönchengladbach in 1972-73 (36), Porto in 2010-11 (37), and Chelsea in 2018-19 (36). Only Athletic Club (30) have had more shots following high turnovers than both Manchester United (23) and Tottenham Hotspur (22) in this season’s UEFA Europa League. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are also joint-top of the 2024-25 competition for direct attacks (32, level with Lyon). Ruben Amorim is looking to become only the third manager to win a major trophy in his first season in charge of Manchester United, after José Mourinho in 2016-17 (League Cup & UEFA Europa League) and Erik ten Hag in 2022-23 (League Cup). Amorim also could become only the third manager to win a major European title with an English club while aged 40 or younger, after Howard Kendall (1984-85 Cup Winners’ Cup with Everton, 38) and Gianluca Vialli (1997-98 Cup Winners’ Cup with Chelsea, 33). Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou is the first Australian manager ever to lead a side to a major European final. It’s the first time a manager from a particular nation has taken charge of a major European final for the first time since Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjær lost the 2021 UEFA Europa League final on penalties to Villarreal with Manchester United. Only Rayan Cherki (12) has been directly involved in more UEFA Europa League goals this season than Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (11 – 7 goals, 4 assists). Indeed, the only player to be involved in more for an English club in a single campaign in the competition was Olivier Giroud for Chelsea in 2018-19 (15 – 11 goals, 4 assists). Tottenham Hotspur forward Dominic Solanke has scored in each of his last four appearances against Manchester United in all competitions (5 goals). Since Alex Ferguson left the Red Devils in 2013, only one player has scored in 5+ consecutive appearances against them, with Mo Salah doing so in six in a row from January 2021 to March 2023. Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (7 goals, 4 assists), and Tottenham Hotspur’s Dominic Solanke (5 goals, 4 assists) each require one assist to record both 5+ goals and 5+ assists in this season’s UEFA Europa League, a feat only two players have achieved previously: Kevin De Bruyne in 2014-15 (5 goals, 5 assists), and Giuliano in 2016-17 (8 goals, 6 assists). Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has made 35 passes that have broken the opposition’s defensive line, and 24 line-breaking passes into the opposition’s penalty area in this season's UEFA Europa League, both competition-high amounts.
