The 2024–25 UEFA Europa League Final against Manchester United represents a major opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur to end their trophy drought.
The 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final, against Manchester United, marks an important opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur. They carry the weight of one of the longest trophy droughts among Europe’s top clubs. While they’ve come close in recent years, their last major title win came over 17 years ago.
Spurs last lifted a trophy on February 24, 2008, when they defeated Chelsea 2-1 after extra time in the Carling Cup Final, now known as the EFL Cup. The match was played at Wembley Stadium. It was Tottenham’s first trophy since their 1999 League Cup triumph.
The 2008 final saw Chelsea take the lead in the first half through a Didier Drogba free kick. Tottenham equalized in the 70th minute with a penalty from Dimitar Berbatov. In extra time, it was defender Jonathan Woodgate who became the unlikely hero, scoring the winning goal in the 94th minute after his header rebounded off Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech.
Juande Ramos was the manager during that campaign and he was able to lift a title despite only overseeing the team for 54 matches. Among the players of that final, we can mention Paul Robinson, Alan Hutton, Ledley King, Pascal Chimbonda, Robbie Keane and Berbatov.
