Tottenham Hotspur’s squad and staff landed back in England on Thursday afternoon, proudly carrying their brand-new Europa League trophy.
The mood was electric, smiles were wide, and excitement was overflowing.
But amidst the joyous group photo, one player cheekily broke ranks — and his funny little stunt caught everyone’s eye.
The Big Win That Ended a Trophy Drought
Thanks to Brennan Johnson’s decisive goal, Spurs defeated Manchester United 1-0 on Wednesday night, ending a 17-year wait for silverware.
The celebrations kicked off immediately.
The team cranked up the Champions League anthem in the dressing room, partied late into the early hours, and even gave fans a sneak peek at the trophy before catching their team bus the next morning.
The Group Photo with a Twist
It was only fitting for the club to mark the occasion with a big group photo back on home soil.
Everyone smiled and posed perfectly for the camera — everyone except one.
Near the top right corner of the picture, Sergio Reguilon stood out, deliberately looking away and gazing off into the distance.
With just six appearances this season, the full-back clearly had other plans than conforming to the typical photo pose, adding a bit of lighthearted banter to the day.
A Day of High Spirits and Thumbs Up
The players left their Bilbao hotel in fantastic spirits, with manager Ange Postecoglou beaming after fulfilling his promise to deliver a trophy in his second season.
As fans gathered outside to cheer the team, Postecoglou gave a thumbs up, radiating pride and happiness before the squad boarded their bus to the airport.
A New Chapter: Champions League Awaits
Besides lifting their first European trophy since 1984, Tottenham have secured a spot in next season’s Champions League.
This comes despite their troubled Premier League campaign, currently sitting 17th heading into the last domestic weekend.
Club captain Son Heung-min, still sporting a bruise from the trophy lift celebration, showed off the South Korean flag tied around his waist and even carried a coffee — clearly recovering from a long night of partying.
Celebrations Continue With Fans and Teammates
Match-winner Brennan Johnson led the celebrations, raising his arm in victory as he left the hotel.
James Maddison, Pedro Porro, and Destiny Udogie echoed the celebratory pose while greeting the waiting supporters.
Lucky fans got a chance to touch the Europa League trophy, which was carefully handled by Tottenham staff before being packed away for the trip home.
Parade Plans and Festivities Ahead
Tottenham have announced a special open-top bus parade scheduled for Friday, starting from Edmonton Green around 5:30 pm.
The parade is expected to last between 60 and 90 minutes, ending at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium’s service yard near Northumberland Park.
Fans will gather on Paxton Terrace for a stage presentation featuring the players and coaching staff.
The club has lined up a DJ, live music, and Q&A sessions with club legends starting from 3 pm, with the entire event to be streamed live on Tottenham’s website, app, and YouTube channel.
Looking Ahead: Final Premier League Match
Despite their European success, Tottenham’s Premier League struggles continue, with their final match against Brighton looming.
Remarkably, Spurs will enter the final day in 17th place but already qualified for next season’s Champions League thanks to their Europa League triumph.
A win could lift them up to 14th place, depending on other results.
This final game will also give players another chance to celebrate their incredible success.
Inside the Dressing Room: The Party Continues
After the final whistle on Wednesday, celebrations raged on well into the night.
Midfielder Yves Bissouma gave fans a peek inside the dressing room, where music blared from the speakers, pizza was devoured, and champagne popped.
Spurs’ official social channels shared videos of Son re-enacting the trophy lift as champagne sprayed everywhere.
Fans Rally and Late-Night Revelry
Son was later spotted outside the hotel, rallying fans who had followed the team back, cupping his ears and waving with his winners medal shining proudly around his neck.
While official videos ended there, many players shared glimpses of the late-night fun on their own social media accounts.
Around 2 am, Destiny Udogie posted clips of the team partying in full kit inside what appeared to be their hotel hall, with Kevin Danso and Timo Werner enjoying themselves alongside family and friends.
Still Going Strong at 3 AM
A video surfaced on social media showing players like James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, and Brennan Johnson still partying at 3 am, captioned simply: “Party still going.”
The next morning, Tottenham’s official account kicked off the day with a clip of gold confetti exploding in the changing room, featuring players dancing and posing with the trophy.
Champions League Dreams and What’s Next
To cap off their celebrations, the team filmed a playful video mimicking a pre-match lineup while the Champions League anthem played, highlighting their qualification for Europe’s top competition next season.
With the trophy in hand and fans buzzing, Tottenham now turn their focus to finishing the Premier League season on a high note — and savoring every last moment of this unforgettable journey.
