UEFA issued an apology after running out of winners' medals during the Europa League final trophy ceremony, where more Tottenham Hotspur players than expected turned up to receive their medals. This mistake left Captain Son Heung-Min and other players without medals right after they beat Manchester United 1-0. UEFA clarified the situation, explaining that the discrepancy was due to the inclusion of additional team members, including injured players, and confirmed that missing medals were delivered to the team post-ceremony alongside an apology.
To our great displeasure, we did not have enough medals available on stage during the trophy ceremony presentation due to an unexpected discrepancy in the player count, as more team members -- including injured players -- participated in the ceremony than initially anticipated.
The missing medals were promptly delivered to the winning team in the dressing room, along with our sincerest apologies for the oversight.
