It’s not just another European night for Tottenham—it’s a chance to rewrite the club’s history books.
With one huge game left to play, Spurs are gearing up for a Europa League final against Manchester United, and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is urging his teammates to seize the moment and make their mark in Bilbao.
Eyes on the Trophy and a Place in Club History
For Vicario, the stakes are crystal clear. He doesn’t just want a medal or a moment of celebration—he wants legacy.
Walking through the hallways of Tottenham’s training ground next season and seeing pictures of himself and his teammates lifting a European trophy is the dream.
But as he put it, that dream isn’t guaranteed.
“We know we can create history for this football club,” Vicario said.
“Probably next year, when we walk through the corridors into the dressing room, we’ll see photos of us lifting that trophy—but that’s only if we get it done.”
He called on everyone involved—players, staff, and especially the fans—to come together for this final push, because it’s not just about one night in Spain. It’s about the memories that will last forever.
Overcoming Setbacks to Reach the Final
This journey means even more to Vicario given his own personal battle.
The Italian shot-stopper missed three months of the season with a broken ankle, making this chance to play in a European final feel even more significant.
“The injury was a big deal for me,” he shared. “To get through that and now be in a position to help the team in a European final—it means everything.”
Signed from Empoli in 2023, Vicario hasn’t had it easy.
But now, after fighting his way back, he’s just one match away from capping off his comeback story with silverware.
Spurs Aim to End Long Trophy Drought
It’s been over a decade since Tottenham last lifted a trophy—back in 2008—and even longer since they tasted European success, with their last continental triumph in 1984.
That’s why this final isn’t just important—it’s massive.
And while Spurs have already beaten Manchester United three times this season, forward Brennan Johnson is warning against overconfidence. “Each of those games was different,” he said.
“We can’t just expect the same result without a new plan.”
Johnson Urges Focus and Fresh Strategy
Johnson knows full well that finals are a different beast.
“We’ve done good work preparing for Man United,” he said.
“Now it’s about deciding how we want to win—what to stop them from doing, what we need to do ourselves.”
That forward-thinking mindset shows Spurs aren’t resting on their past victories.
They’re laser-focused on the future—specifically, the 90 minutes (or more) that could define their season.
Europa League as Spurs’ Silver Lining
In a campaign plagued by injuries and disappointing Premier League results, the Europa League has been Tottenham’s lifeline.
It’s where the squad has found resilience, unity, and a sense of purpose.
“It’s really brought us together,” Johnson admitted.
“Those tough trips in Europe, the quarter-final, the semi-final—these moments have made us stronger.”
One Last Step to Glory
Now, it all comes down to this. One final, one opponent, and one shot at glory.
For Vicario, Johnson, and the entire squad, it’s not just about lifting a trophy—it’s about proving they belong on the European stage and giving the fans a night to remember forever.
As the sun sets in Bilbao, Tottenham knows what’s at stake—and they’re ready to fight for it.
