UEFA has clarified that Son Heung-min and two other Tottenham players did not receive their Europa League winners' medals during the ceremony due to an unexpected shortage. The situation arose because Tottenham had sent more players than UEFA had anticipated to collect medals after their victory against Manchester United. UEFA typically provides 50 medals for each team, with only 30 brought out for the ceremony. After the oversight, UEFA apologized and subsequently delivered the missing medals to the team in the dressing room.
UEFA expressed regret over a discrepancy in player count that led to a shortage of medals for Tottenham Hotspur, which affected Son Heung-min and others.
Despite playing significant roles in the final, Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero left the podium empty-handed due to an unexpected increase in medal recipients.
