00:00Tonight not just for tonight, but for the season in general and for next season to the nerves have to be jangling well
00:08Let's get even our own first thing. You've got to say you listen to James Madison
00:13The nails that that man has and he's not even playing this evening
00:17So you can that's palpable in the atmosphere in the stadium. We'll listen to the guys. He can hardly hardly hear each other
00:23So make no mistake about it
00:26those players in the tunnel
00:28As we can see right now darling, they won't be nervous, but that's why they play the game that's why they're here
00:43It's a wonderful scene inside the San Mames, which I have to say is one of the best stadiums in the whole of Europe
00:49It's not the biggest. It's not the grandest, but it's absolutely perfect
00:54For an occasion like this one Manchester United have been here before and you wonder on a big night like this whether that familiarity might just
01:01Be an advantage for them. One end of the stadium is white the Tottenham end and the other end is
01:07Completely red and all we need now are the two sets of players out onto the pitch to get this Europa League final
01:14underway
01:17And
01:20The fact that being held in there and there's Ruben Amorim and you wonder what's going through his mind
01:25Just ratchets up the pressure and the tension
01:27It does because I can tell you something and the boys are boxing up
01:32Those players want out there as quickly as possible and here they come
01:40So here come the players
01:42Striding out into the magnificent Estadio San Mames in the heart of Bilbao in northern Spain
01:48The Coliseum tonight for the sixth European final between two English teams
01:56The players have walked past the trophy that means so much to so many you win it tonight and you hit the jackpot
02:03It's an arena full of nerves expectation and passion
02:07It's the 54th final in this competition tonight. Will it be glory glory for Spurs or United?
03:03Listen to the Europa League anthem you can feel the pressure and as they shake hands tonight
03:07They're acutely aware of exactly what's at stake big hearts and strong minds are needed with so much on the line
03:34Well, I'm supposed to conclude changes 10 from Friday Villa
03:38Perhaps our is the only survivor three in midfield for Tottenham with side joined by the sumo events and curl
03:45Club captain human song is only a substitute for Charleston starts ahead of him
03:49Then the van plays his 50th game for Spurs no involvement for Bergwald or Kulosevsky despite the rumors
03:56Solanke leads the way with five Europa League goals
04:03The
04:14Two captains tonight Bruno Fernandes and Christian Ramiro Felix is fire from Berlin in Germany
04:20It's the referee and it's his first major
04:23European final
04:33So
04:39Sweeping changes for Spurs, but only one from Friday at Chelsea for Manchester United
04:44Lenny Yoro is fit to return and replaces Victor Lindelof in the back three
04:48Bruno Fernandes starts alongside Cassie Miro in midfield
04:52Aman and semi-final hero Mason Mount support Hoyland
04:55It means you've got a and Garnaccio miss out despite good performances on the way to the final
05:01Diogo Dalot Joshua Sarksy and Johnny Evans are back on the bench
05:14Well after so many setbacks and disappointments this season tonight's the night to change the picture and change the future
05:21It's such a big night for both sets of players United are in their ninth major European final
05:26It's a six for Tottenham and both of them have won this trophy before and by the way
05:32Forget the league form because this is very different tonight
05:40And prior to kickoff
05:42While the Manchester United players huddle the Tottenham players have gone to their end of the stadium to applaud their supporters
05:49That's a nice touch alley. I think it's a bit of a statement as well
05:53To be honest, it just won't buy the United players stick to their own funds
05:57Then they'll get together right in front of their own funds
06:02What a bit of a statement
06:04You made an interesting point earlier on and I actually think you need to probably
06:09Has a little bit of an advantage a slight advantage haven't been here in plenty
06:13I don't think there's any doubt about that whether it's big enough to make a difference. We'll find out
06:18What a night it is for him
06:20And it's possible all the rumors swirling about whether he's going to remain the Tottenham manager
06:24Ruben Abery, of course needs to win a trophy as well
06:27So we're all set and isn't it nice to see Manchester United in red and Tottenham in white the traditional colors here for this
06:36Europa League final
06:47So
06:51Off we go the
06:532025 Europa League final is underway here in the San Mames in Bilbao. Will it be salvation for Spurs or
07:00redemption for the Reds
07:05What I would say I mean, it's a magnificent atmosphere in here and has been for quite some time
07:10It's been absolutely terrific. I mean we go here a good two and a half hours
07:14Prior to the kickoff even then the correctly codes were in good form good spirits
07:19But you're right and say as you would expect for a European final
07:23involving
07:24two English teams
07:26both sets up
07:28supporters well up for it as
07:30The players will be I'm sure
07:33Well, I mentioned that Manchester United were here in the semifinal they won as well
07:37Will that be significant the last time Spurs were in a major final?
07:40It was played in Spain the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid against Liverpool
07:47One thing they do want to avoid tonight is an early setback that they suffered in that game six years ago
07:53The fourth meeting of the season tonight Spurs have won the three plates so far all in all the 204th game between them
08:01It's the first time they've met in a final
08:04since the leak up at Wembley in
08:062009 and overall it's the third major final meeting between the respective clubs and if you're a follower of form
08:12The head-to-head form that certainly favors Spurs. Yeah, it certainly is the one thing
08:17I want to point out immediately if I may fletch you look at the Charleston's position
08:21We're talking about a part of the match
08:23The play in the right-hand side you'd expect them actually tuck in a little bit
08:26But when it's positive all he is as wide as it gets and what it does
08:31It forces Muzrawi back in to that position in a right-back position
08:36first sprint down this side for Brennan Johnson
08:40And he forces Luke Shaw to concede the corner the Manchester United defender not happy
08:45But it's the first opportunity and significantly here Tottenham
08:49Attacking the end where their supporters are in the first half. I think he's got some justification here. Absolutely. I think that's
08:56comes off Johnson at the last minute
08:59Corner to Tottenham all the same opportunity for the big guns to come up
09:05first opportunity tonight for the Spurs captain Christian Romero and
09:09For Micky van de Ven to join the likes of Solanke and Richarlison in the box and he's going to be delivered here
09:14for Tottenham by Pedro Poro
09:21The whistle blown for the foul
09:24Micky van de Ven on Harry Maguire
09:27Well, there's a lot more experience of nights like this in the United team the likes of Fernandez Shaw Maguire
09:32I'm at all part of the setup, but they lost to Villarreal in the final four years ago and Casimiro
09:39Is the only player in either team to score in a major final this?
09:43And it's Posta Koglu. It's a milestone night as well as a big one for him
09:47His first major final as a manager on the night, but he takes charge of Tottenham for the 100th time
09:53first big European occasion
09:56For a man who's pretty much been through the ringer all season. Oh, he certainly has
10:03Results have been poor domestically and it goes with the territory
10:07Just getting back to that free kick van de Ven was blocking Harry Maguire
10:10So Richarlison could make a run in front of him, but it was a clear free kick
10:15Now we've got a chance to be united
10:17To put one into the box
10:23So
10:31The Manchester United free kick first one tonight for them to be taken by Luke Shaw and it goes towards Harry Maguire
10:37And it was rather hacked out in there
10:40By a destiny who doggy and now Manchester United have got a corner. It's just as a sweep on it, doesn't it?
10:47Completely miscues it Maguire wins ahead at the back post
10:53Oxygen area the doggy should be better actually
10:59Much better
11:03So Bruno Fernandes the Manchester United captain has been such an important part of their journey to this final
11:09He's out to take their first corner
11:17Goes in towards Casimiro
11:20I'm sure now Masraoui
11:25There's defending on that side for Richarlison to do despite the fact he was beaten in the air
11:29Well Hoyland's got there ahead of the goalkeeper and played it back to Fernandes early opportunity potentially here for United
11:36And in actual fact the shot from the Manchester United skipper hit base of mouth
11:40But just a bit of uncertainty there from Vicario. Yeah
11:44I just get crazy as you see at the last minute
11:48Thankfully for these defenders to get around Fernandes there, but
11:52It's like a little bit of nerves there and that spurs back forward this moment in time
12:03Any significance in your opinion to the fact that 10 of the 11 starting tonight the United played on Friday at Chelsea and only
12:10Perhaps off the top that was involved in their game against Aston Villa. Not for me. Not an awful lot. I
12:16Don't think you can argue some players like to play one or two. Maybe like to rest I get it, but
12:22No, I don't think there's any serious advantage there. It's all done one opinion
12:29Certainly a different approach from the two managers that was nice to learn from Rasmus Hoyland
12:34It's a Brennan Johnson Harry Maguire
12:37And then Casimiro to Amad
12:40Must admit I was slightly surprised when I didn't see Garnaccio's name in the starting line
12:44But Manuel Agathe as well just based on how well they played in the quarters in the semis
12:49Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with that Garnaccio and certainly Sond for Tottenham was a little bit of a surprise
12:55I understand why Ange has done it. I mentioned to you pre-match
12:59Possibly sees him as a more effective substitute than Richarlison, for example
13:04Ruben Amorim five trophies with sporting Lisbon before moving to Manchester all of them
13:09Domestic ones as a player. He never tasted success in Europe. So tonight
13:14Big on a personal level and of course very big for his football club as well
13:24It might be super it's ahead of the fights with Charleston that's dealt with well by Casimiro's such a man for the big occasion
13:39I
13:52Look short a mace amount to England players combining now Hoyland
14:00Spring bumps and barge by Kasuma. Yeah better center forward plays not happy, but it gets you needed up the pitch
14:09Holds your ball and will good strength
14:14So Manchester United team from beaten in Europe this season their last three wins are in the Europa League
14:19The only games they've won in the last 12 in all competitions likewise Spurs two wins in their last seven
14:25We're against Bodo glimpsed in the semi-final
14:28It's the first time the two sides have played against each other in Europe since a cup with his cup tie in
14:331964
14:35When you widen the head-to-head out
14:37United a witness in their last six against Tottenham. You've got to go back to 20
14:43Drawing to lost for a ling it was
14:49I think that was one point though that as poster Coghlan wanted to point out when we spoke to him before kickoff you could
14:54forget for
15:06You
15:23Rodrigo Benson Kirk
15:26We sum up and now Romero who gets the honor of captain in Tottenham tonight with human song only on the bench
15:34Poros delivery another decided to come and that's a vital header in there by Masraoui. What a delivery is
15:41You just look at the uncertainty because the goalkeeper anana
15:46And he's ecstatic. He sees like say the defender clear that Masraoui. It comes realizes. He's not getting it
15:54Good bit of defending and it had to be
15:57He's got great delivery portable. We've seen it in numerous occasions. I've seen particularly
16:01Europa League
16:02Question marks against both goalkeepers. I think it's fair to say tonight Adana started a Champions League final
16:08He was in goal for Ajax the last time Manchester United lifted the Europa League
16:21So Petro Poro in front of his own supporters for Tottenham
16:26It's
16:29Not a bad one, it's dealt with pretty effectively in the end by Adana because that came fizzing in towards him
16:36This time it's headed away by Mason Mount
16:40I'm out applying the pressure Benton court nice and cool
16:46Destiny new donkey. He's going to get the free kick
16:49I
16:51Just got him a little not just laughing bit
16:56Defender knew exactly what he's doing there. That's the nudge right there knocks him off balance. It looks off, but it's a free kick
17:08Good punch, isn't it had to be as well
17:11I
17:16Tear it down
17:18Was both managed if I was either manager the one thing I would be seen to my team get crosses into the box
17:25Because that I don't care when he says the question marks over both goalkeepers particularly. I think it cross balls
17:32Require ladies will go there for sure and he's Brennan Johnson first again the angles against him. Oh, no, it gets the touch
17:37It's hit back in them by saw
17:40And the book came in for Manchester United, but that wasn't now
17:44They wanted to deal with it. That's clumsy over there by Masraoui
17:50Excellent Brennan Johnson really positive really direct
18:03We have three kick comes over the top of the Charleston does well stands up the house shops Johnson here
18:10Boy, I can't get back to him cuts across him
18:13Smashes across good see a good hand again
18:16for a banana
18:18I've said there's a mistake in there, but he's a reasonable start. That's for sure
18:23Requires gonna have some defending to do here because this is a fantastic position for Poro with his delivery. Yeah
18:31Brennan Johnson who's the leading scorer for Spurs 17 goals in all competitions four of them in the Europa League and he was a real
18:39life wire down that side
18:41against Luke Shaw
18:50For a whips it in
18:52Cassie Miro didn't clear me Charleston quickly on to it
18:56It might want to come off doggo in the end is behind for the corner
19:00Well, they were indecisive there Manchester United dealing with that. Well both defenses have been
19:05Like I mentioned earlier with cross balls. That was a relatively simple one to clear
19:10I think he knocks off Mason Mountain. Is it? Yeah
19:14He's back off
19:17Casimiro just hits off move the Charleston takes a touch and tries to
19:21smash it across
19:22Good blocking Fernandez, but both defense. He's looking a little uneasy
19:26I
19:37Tears a lot going on in that six-yard box Petro Polo's had a few of these in the opening 13 minutes
19:44It's him again with the corner. That's not a bad one. It's Harry Maguire underneath it for Manchester United
19:50And that's a foul
19:53Brennan Johnson
19:57And
20:04He gets up early doesn't he and the right arm comes across
20:11Cratches dog you
20:17Manchester United have won five of the eight European finals
20:21In the only time they played one in Spain was the famous night in Barcelona in
20:261999 so Alex Ferguson's here tonight Spurs have won three of the five European finals
20:30They've played in it's the fourth time. They've reached the final of this competition
20:34They played in three UEFA Cup finals prior to the change of name and the format the last time they won
20:39It was back in 1984 that penalty shootout at the old White Hart Lane. It's been a while
20:45And all the Tottenham fans have be spoken to around the town and hoping tonight's their night
20:49Here's Patrick dog. You know fouled by Petro Poro. That's sure that went in
20:57Then thank you, I did well they're protected Poro
21:13Once again when you make it at the ball fletch
21:15You can see the Charleston comes in off the left-hand side and Johnson off the right
21:20Make them a tighter unit
21:22Fernandez on the pressure, but he's found Lenny Oro and now they've got a bit of space to operate in Masraoui in the pocket
21:28Now flicked out here to Patrick Dorgan
21:30Good
21:43Require
21:46Who's made a really good run in and he was able to get there and Romero
21:50Not sure what was behind him decided not to take a chance. No, and he couldn't
21:55But there was also the chance of a knock nut into his own net
21:58Lovely delivery from McGuire smashing pass just over the top drops it really well door good is exceptionally well
22:07And he doesn't take any chances the minute it pains that we've seen
22:11Defenders knock into their own goalie
22:13Patrick dog who made his European debut against well Saucy had had earlier in the competition here. He is in the same season in a final
22:21Let's see what Bruno Fernandez can do from this latest Manchester United corner
22:29I
22:34Suppose goalkeeper came and didn't get there. I'm out there looking to drop his shoulder whipping him
22:39He's gone right the way through
22:42If anybody in red would have gambled it might well have been one now. Yeah, he's just smashed across the face, hasn't he?
22:48That Maguire does well when it comes out. He's thinking about having a straight was Harry where he's left foot
22:53Thought about it. They're laid off. Well
22:56Little fella does we all takes it back on his right smashes across the face a goal just screaming out for somebody to attack it
23:10Yeah, that was close boys
23:13Just thinking bigger picture here based on what the two teams have been through this season
23:17Does that make the first goal in this match even more important than it normally is the first goal in any finals big?
23:23but just thinking about the
23:25Frailty and confidence potentially of the two sets of players and the pressure that they're under to win. I understand that you're saying
23:33We need a
23:34heck of a reaction
23:36But I think due to the importance of the game itself and what it means to both clubs
23:40You would naturally get when you would think
23:42I
23:50Was really nice to see the two sets of supporters coming in together, there's not a great deal of segregation
23:56Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves
23:58United supporters were taking photos for Spurs fans and vice versa. Everybody seemed fine
24:05Very good to see
24:07Yes, sir, Dominic Solanke lovely ball until from you doggy just drops off their lovely ball
24:14We Charleston
24:16And it goes towards paps are that was good defending in there by sure we've got to go with him watch the run perfectly look sure
24:24Yeah, it was a good run
24:29Significantly tonight Manchester United starting two players in the back three
24:32We've played in a major tournament final for England in Harry Maguire in Luke Shaw
24:36They've got young Lenny Yoro in there as well only just back from injury
24:47Who doggy challenge Kevin over there by Masraoui and the last touch was a Tottenham one
24:52He's
25:00Handed across from under space
25:04Not sure it wanted warranted that Bruno, but he said he's hand across his face
25:09So
25:15Lenny Yoro who becomes the second youngest player to start a European final
25:20For Manchester United only Brian Kidd back in 1968 was younger. I
25:27Love the talk of Amaranth's
25:29formation
25:30Fletch because you know the three four three and all that kind of carry on that take it from me
25:36But they've not get the ball as a black fight
25:40I can see there. I didn't quite get there on me Charleston. I surmounted and Petro Poro won the ball
25:52One thing that does feel significant to me from a top in perspective tonight
25:56They said not got Kulishevsky or Madison. They're gonna try and generate things without that too real. It's a problem
26:02Yeah mentioned cheerleader. That's 22 goals this season as well
26:06out the side
26:08Minus link at 12 and all Thompson
26:11Kulishevsky 10 so yeah
26:14What goals to lose it's an ability to open teams up as well the both of them have
26:20Sure away for United
26:22Mountain who had that wonderful semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao
26:27and now Lenny Yoro
26:29Touch there for me
26:39You
26:49Hurry the quiet Patrick doggy the last touch there was off Benton Cooper
26:57That was the big debate prior to kickoff was he going to play with three and midfield and sports to Coghlin wall to and
27:02He's gone for that three of service uber and Benton Cooper. I thought he made them to be honest. I thought he made I
27:09Can't hate the fact that I also thought someone would play but there you go
27:17Casimir up that's a ball
27:20To all good
27:25Trusting towards Masraoui that's an important header by destiny you're talking
27:29Cleared as far as I'm at on it goes now to Bruno Fernandes and Vicario down quickly to smother
27:38He's comfortable on the ball I'm I did Elias love a little run-in behind there
27:42I thought he was going to do it
27:44I thought he was going to do it
27:46I'm I did Elias love a little run-in behind there first time cross comfortable save
28:01Manchester United about 66% of the ball so far
28:05The
28:13Quiet facing Solanke in the air
28:18Fernandez
28:20Challenged by the Charleston Luke Shaw quickly on the scene on it goes by Casimiro to mount
28:29It's good play by mount to hold off Benson curl and Johnson was just slightly over zealous
28:34Well, I'm not sure it was Johnson done
28:36It was Ben tanker. The free kick was given against you Frank. You might be wrong, but
28:42Johnson looks surprised. I think it falls here. Yeah
28:50Yeah, I'm almost convinced that's for us
29:05So Luke Shaw holding a high lane
29:08Yeah over this free kick for Manchester United and it goes towards McGuire. That's the tried-and-tested route for them
29:24I'm not looking to dance his way in but that's good cover by bassoon, but
29:29now Rishala said
29:31once it's a Bruno Fernandez Masraoui
29:34Casimiro
29:37Classic case they are not been able to go because of all the players back there taught them
29:42When the one the ball nothing you hit a forward area
29:54This Bruno Fernandez seven goals these last eight games in the competition
29:59He's been as important as anybody in a red shirt on route to the final
30:05I
30:07Think those Dominic Solanke
30:13Don't know whether the referee given the free kick
30:15I think you might have given it for the fact that I might pick the ball up in the air. Yeah
30:20Solanke does well, he just puts his body across cassamere. It's a free kick all day
30:25Casimiro back in another major final
30:36Five Champions Leagues at Real Madrid. I just post the cockley stood there impassively looking on
30:43Certainly got a reasonable CV, hasn't it?
30:45I
30:52Stance ball from Clara. Well, they wanted Johnson to go short. Don't they've come short a bigger part
30:56I think he's got some justification to be a little bit. I know he did Johnson. I know he went in behind but
31:04Clearly I needed help
31:06I
31:11So now gets a foot in but be super can dance his way through with the ball
31:16Holding off Patrick dog. He got his foot to it. Luke Shaw can keep it in
31:21Just gonna sleep this attaches their dog you don't they I
31:25Get the impression just kind of feeling the stadium that both sets of fans are desperate for their team to get the upper hand to
31:31get momentum
31:33It's very nervy and he lies it really is
31:42If you're asking me after 25 minutes, I'll probably see you naked started slightly better looking slightly more of a threat
31:53Porro battling over their dog who winning the battle that was a handball
32:03If
32:11You compare the front threes out there 37 goals between Michalis and Johnson and Solanke compared to
32:1823 for Mount Hamad and Hoyland the bulk of the Manchester United goals the 19 from Bruno Fernandes
32:28Some with some from Fernandes down really us
32:33I
32:39Must say neither keepers started that impressively. No, no
32:44That's what I said to you if I was injured indeed
32:47Ruben Amorim
32:49Now we tell my lads particularly in wide areas get crosses into the box pepper the goal
32:55See how they handle it
32:58I
33:00Benson could jumping highest smash forward then by Porro Dominic Salenki's chasing
33:05Walker for the centre-back when he bounces McGuire strong local United dead
33:10Will McGuire kiss a like he made himself favorite done. There's Benson curve
33:16The doggie
33:20Michalis and chalice over there by Massar Ali. See I think that's an opportunity for the doggie put it in the boxie
33:26Takes other option rules at the Charleston, but I think that's a perfect time for a delivery
33:40Christian Romero looking for a Charleston cleared away by Yoro
33:49The doggy manages to whip in the cross
33:52That's taken a touch there off doggie and he didn't need to do it
33:56Tottenham get the corner. Well, it's uncertainty. You're talking about the normal circumstances. That's just communication
34:02between the goalkeeper
34:05In the wide left or go I mean all day just talk to one another
34:08Look, you can see Luke Shaw screaming time. It's a big night though for him 20 years of age
34:13He's gone from Lecce to a Europa League final in Manchester United's red shirt. He's had quite a change this season
34:18I hear you, but if somebody's shouting your time then take your time your teammates telling you
34:2618 or 38 darling
34:30So Pedro Porro with another Tottenham set-piece
34:48And
34:53Charleston reaching for it hooks away by door go back in by be super Harry Maguire with time
34:59It's happening again at that corner fund events trying to block the wire for a Charleston across the front of them
35:12Forward by Casimiro
35:14The doggie
35:16Like he was gonna lose out to run that and in fact, he's conceded the free kick. They read it. Well, I'm I don't think
35:22Very cute. He knew a dog. He was gonna take it in his chest
35:25Just nipped in between him the arms a free kick important player to be back as the for Manchester United
35:30I'm at they missed him when he was out ten goals in all competitions
35:33He was on the bench back in 2021 when they lost the final against the array out
35:39He's that really sparky player out wide that can make the difference as he has for them in some games this season
35:48Here he is on the ball
35:53Teasing you doggy delivering the cross that's good defending in there by Brennan Johnson
35:58It's great play for mama
35:59But however, you've got to think about it
36:00He's skipper knows he's on a 1v1 against the doggy and he just gives him and says really you go good
36:05Come on and this is what happens comes him and say that puts the ball across and it's good defending from Johnson
36:11Christian Romero's down inside the six-yard box because he took an elbow from Rasmus Hoyland as this ball was coming in
36:20And the Tottenham captain for now is flat on his back there he is
36:27Both and there was any maliciousness
36:29It was the center forward trying to get in a good position to be on the end of the cross that he just happened to
36:33collide with Romero in the process
36:39Not the scale that isn't it
36:43Doesn't matter what era of football
36:45What year we watch we love wide men take full backs on don't we?
36:50Yeah, we see it the left elbow definitely catches him there
36:54I'm gonna do this
36:55accidental
36:58Good spot
37:04You
37:09Back on his feet 15 minutes to play in this first half
37:22Luke sure
37:25I
37:27Think Tom by Masraoui to a man's now Bruno Fernandes. I'm not the best at crosses straight at Pabst
37:55Of course I'm out again the first bit was excellent the second bit not so good. No, correct, but he's been bright hasn't he?
38:02Open in 30 minutes. He's been the one for me in the pitch. It's
38:06Luke lively when I take players on and he did well there again final and product not good enough
38:11I accept that
38:12Well, we're counting down to the stars of Roland Garros
38:15Which gets underway this Sunday from 930 in the morning every match from the iconic clay courts of Paris will be live only on TNT
38:22sports and Discovery Plus
38:25Really looking forward to that tournament getting underway
38:33Nil-nil here in the Estadio San Mames in Bilbao just less than
38:3950,000 in the stadium
38:40They said that each team had been given an allocation of 15,000
38:43But it feels like they're just about split it down a little looks that way doesn't it?
38:53It's a game at the moment though Ali that needs a goal. Yeah needs a spark doesn't it?
39:04The sooner on the move no foul
39:06Still down Manchester United are carrying on here with Masraoui and now your own chairman referee having none of it
39:13absolutely none of it
39:15But
39:20Why I look at the pick out Patrick talking
39:23I'll tell you what McGuire's doing so far in the first half
39:26He's testing that Patrick D'Orgoose hamstrings, isn't he?
39:32Here we see it now, it's not a lot in it
39:37The sumo goes down does he catch him there he does I take that back I take that back the right leg catches him
39:46Yeah, you're right on he was telling him to get up actually and he was saying get up
39:50He didn't see they did the second replay as well
39:53That makes me feel better a final day of the Premier League season coming up on Sunday
39:57You'll see Manchester United again Old Trafford is our destination
40:01Aston Villa looking to try and book a place in the Champions League next season. We start at three o'clock on TNT Sports 1 and
40:10Discovery Plus
40:16And
40:19From next season TNT Sports will be the home of the Emirates FA Cup for the Adobe Women's FA Cup with more live games
40:26Broadcast than ever before from both competitions it adds to our extraordinary football lineup from August that already includes coverage of the Premier League
40:34The UEFA Champions League in every match from the Europa and Conference Leagues as well
40:40It's going to be a massive season of football here on TNT Sports a Discovery Plus
40:50Well, that's got a hold of doggy shirt
40:52I think he's going to get a yellow card when it stops, but it's a decent advantage played by Felix Swire
40:58Then Bruno Fernandes catches it free kicks been given here to Spurs
41:03Yeah
41:05Oh
41:09With Charleston sakes the referee are you gonna show a yellow to a map of pulling the shades?
41:14It needs to be careful because the rules nowadays tell you you'll get pick up one yourself
41:19But I do understand what he's coming from
41:26Yeah, there you go
41:30No major surprise there
41:35You
41:43Very much are coming together. Yeah, but they you see the top there pretty clear. You're always picking up a yellow for that
41:51So
42:02So it's gonna be Petro Poro again, he's been the main source of
42:06Attack so far in this first half for Tottenham with numerous
42:09Set pieces you feel if they keep giving him opportunities. He'll eventually get one, right?
42:15I'm enjoying watching Van de Ven and Maguire at the set plays, you know, which
42:22I
42:24Was obviously aware that Maguire I
42:28Feel is the best header of the ball when you need to try to block him get on his road upset him
42:37Fuck so this time from Poro played away by Hoyland and then by Bruno Fernandes
42:41Good ball wasn't it for somebody with so much quality when singing his praises. That was a pure one
42:51Miss Brennan Johnson hasn't seen a great deal of the ball Johnson
42:57Gets the cross in here towards Dominic Solanke you seem to use his arm at the outset to control it and the referees seen it
43:03This comes across doesn't it again? He gets in front of Maguire to the deflected cross, but it definitely comes up and hits his arm
43:13He will pretty clear
43:22You
43:27Spurs are playing their third final against an English team tonight having played Wolves in 1972 and Liverpool in
43:342019
43:35United doing it for the second time having met Chelsea of Moscow in 2008 overall. It's in 11
43:4111th time that teams from the same country have met in a final. Yara wants to see that back to the keeper
43:47It didn't come Loro
43:49We felt the pressure
43:52Screaming for the goalkeeper to come in. Oh, yeah, I get it. But once he didn't come he's going to give it a shot earlier
43:57Knock it. Why don't take the extra touch?
43:59He's wanted to keep it to come accept that but once you go like that, you've got to knock it right away
44:03You can't take that touch
44:12I think sometimes the two keepers we've got there tonight make their defenders a bag of nerves. I don't disagree
44:19Bruno Fernandes was caught. They'll stop the game here. It's gone down clutching his head
44:25Games just got a little bit scrappy done
44:29Stoppages injuries kind of niggles
44:32No real flow to at the moment
44:36Suppose it's what you get when you've got a match between two teams who have combined to lose 44 games
44:42Across the various competitions this season and now they're playing for a place in the Champions League
44:49Wouldn't be possible but for the format, so
44:59Dogu
45:03Sure
45:08Cassie Miro no euro
45:13I'm not concerned and have a go at them
45:15He's got Masraoui supporting him as well and Manchester United have got three in the box, but that's blocked over there by destiny who doggy
45:24We shall listen
45:31He doesn't get the free kick this time and I don't get a throw in either it's Bruno Fernandes
45:36Hoyland's hardly mentioned Rasmus Hoyland's name so far in the first half or Mason Mount who was chasing that
45:43I was an interesting one. I thought I'd only make a fool there
45:47see I'm looking at the referee, but
45:50So far he's been very well marshaled Hoyland
45:56As the arms in the back isn't it that's what he gives a free kick for
46:03Push across Fernandes doesn't he?
46:07I've left them out here
46:08So Petro Poro's got to go out there and I'm that's gonna cut it and hit the shot
46:14We shall listen just as a word with him
46:17And the fact that we shall listen got there took all the sting off it
46:21Spurs are happy to play with the Manchester United player down. Well, maybe the dog is not but they're doing that well United
46:27They're feeding Ahmad
46:29They're trying to isolate him
46:31on your doggy
46:33every opportunity
46:35As I mentioned earlier, he's been bright I know he's down there at the moment, but
46:39One over not the brightest player on the pitch so far
46:43Just takes a stinger it doesn't it?
47:06And
47:09Charleston it got the not tonight's over human song if you look at the respective benches
47:15There's more on the Manchester United bench than there is the Tottenham bench in terms of potential game changes
47:21He's not involved tonight, but I still like but they got Circus II back and Dallo back. That was a surprise was it not?
47:28He's arguing the biggest surprise there a lot is actually getting back in
47:32Dominic Solanke scored these last four games against Manchester United, but he was challenged firmly there by McGuire. There's van de vent
47:41That's rally to Bruno Fernandez
47:45Intercepted well by sir
47:55We shall listen
47:58The pentacurse made a little scurry here into the Manchester United box
48:03Saw delivers the cross it towards Brennan Johnson
48:11It's first blood to top it in the Europa League final and it's Brennan Johnson the leading scorer who delivers in Bilbao
48:20But that sends the Tottenham supporters wild inside the sand man is two things
48:26Lovely little run-in behind you mentioned that into that right back position bent and cool brilliant
48:31Just opens up a little bit
48:32He leaves it back and it's all about the delivery and again put ten will open a piece
48:37And Tottenham's top scorer in all competitions
48:41Does what he's done all season?
48:44Times he's run perfectly
48:48Might have been a little bit scrappy. That's the run-in there that forces people to change people to move
48:53There's the delivery he goes in behind I think McGuire thinks the goalkeepers coming and he doesn't think anybody's behind them
49:01Unfortunately for him he's wrong
49:04Well, it's scrappy, isn't it? I think so might even play it off him but it comes offshore there
49:11Does he got a touch?
49:13Doesn't matter really does it? Well, I think it might ultimately be a Luke Shore own goal
49:18You might have called that perfectly, but Brennan Johnson was in there making a nuisance of himself
49:23He got a goal in the semi-final if it stands
49:25He's got a goal in the final, but they don't care who scored it
49:28Look at the celebrations and it's Posta Coghlan with the staff and the Tottenham supporters
49:33Inside the sand mamas and with less than three minutes of the first half to go Spurs lead Manchester United 1-0
49:41Darren the bottom line is he doesn't make that run. There's no goal
49:45He's done it all season. He's come off that right hand side and plays down the left hand side
49:50He's committed our back post this time he's more central
49:54Whether it's his goal or not
49:56He doesn't make that run. There's no goal
50:01Rather lately a few kids on the ground. He just catches up to me there
50:09Well, what a time to get a goal
50:11Ruben Amorim's having a look where it all went wrong and right before halftime Spurs have got the lead Manchester United behind and now
50:18They'll try and respond from this Fernandes free kick. That's defended by Richarlison
50:26It's the first time that Tottenham have scored in a European final since Graham Roberts in the 84th minute in
50:321984 prior to the penalty shootout
50:37I think it's only fair you let the viewers know I bought that question earlier on today
50:43Okay, here's Casimiro
50:47It's the Tottenham supporters celebrating for now inside this stadium in Bilbao
50:52As you see what a time to score. What's a team to score?
50:55On by Casimiro Bruno Fernandes coming in and shooting and there's Ricky van de Ven
51:00It's not a lot of defending to do tonight, but he was in the right place at the right time
51:04They're beautiful wicked passing Casimiro, wasn't it?
51:08Mass rally
51:10Fernandes Benton call got there and then anywhere will do for Tottenham as they try and get through to half-time
51:16with the lead
51:19Maguire
51:21Your own
51:34Sure who could do nothing about the goal
51:36And I'm sure onana now can barely hear himself think with the celebrations going on behind him with the Tottenham fans
51:50Two minutes of additional time to play up it goes to water as Miss Hoyland and that Romero across
51:57For Tottenham and they get the throw in that's a tough gig for him tonight with those two
52:01A lovely little run. That's the running behind it. She stretches everybody. It moves everybody into that back post position
52:07Maguire, I think can play it but he leaves it because he thinks nobody's behind them
52:12Yeah, good. It's one the food to that probably it comes off definitely comes off Johnson and gets back the way
52:18And I think it almost certainly comes off short last time
52:21But prior to that goal going in Tottenham, it's a little bit of a bit of a mess
52:24I mean, it's a bit of a mess, but it's a bit of a mess
52:27Prior to that goal going in Tottenham hadn't scored in any of their last four cup finals
52:31The last Spurs player to score in a cup final with Jonathan Woodgate in 2008. So so significant
52:38And it certainly will change the Postacoglou team talk and the Ameren team talk
52:43If that's the way it is when a half-time whistle blows
52:46There's one more opportunity here for Bruno Fernandes though at Manchester United. That's in towards Maguire cleared as far as
52:52He's sure
52:56Headed away by Romero. Yeah, but he's got to talk to him done
53:00I'm at
53:02In towards Patrick d'Orgo and this time the goalkeeper nice and confident for Tottenham. That's exactly what I've told you two minutes before it
53:09Romero heads of all he's going into the dog. He opens his mouth. Just leave it
53:14Communication
53:17I mean they're celebrating like they've won it, but they've got 45 minutes of hard work to come at least at least
53:22I think that's as much about relief as anything else
53:25If you're a Tottenham fan when you think the season they've had and enjoying the moment who can blame them
53:30The Charleston with a turn and the cross
53:34And the cross
53:36And the cross
53:38And the cross
53:40And the cross
53:42And the cross
53:45So
53:55Well, that's halftime and it's half a job done for Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao
54:01And whether it's Brennan Johnson or Luke Shaw, they don't really care Tottenham Hotspur have got the lead
54:06It's been a first half of few chances
54:08But Tottenham have taken theirs and the halftime score in the sandbar there's in Bilbao is Tottenham Hotspur
