Tottenham Hotspur, under manager Ange Postecoglou, reached the Europa League final by defeating Bodo/Glimt 2-0, concluding with a 5-1 aggregate victory. Despite a disappointing Premier League season, Tottenham is set to compete for a trophy on May 21 against Manchester United. Postecoglou, often criticized for the team's league struggles and injury woes, deflected negative commentary, emphasizing that their cup run is independent of league form and asserting that both teams deserve their place in the final. Spurs aim for their first major trophy since 2008, having not lifted the Europa League before.
"It's going to upset a lot of people isn't it. The debate's now raging. The latest one is that neither of us will be able to get a trophy if we win, they're just going to take a team photo because we're not worthy. I mean, who cares if we're struggling in the league? It's a separate thing."
"I couldn't care less who's struggling and who's not. I think both us and Manchester United have earned the right to be there."
