"Winning a trophy with Spurs was special, James Maddison tells FourFourTwo when asked about his proudest achievements in the game. And playing for England, walking out at Wembley for my country with my family there. It's hard to top those two. Being part of the team that won the Europa League means a lot."
"Ange [Postecoglou] always used to say that there are pictures on the wall everywhere of teams that have won trophies at this club and they're all in black and white, but we could be the group to change that. And we did."
Tottenham won the Europa League last season, defeating Manchester United in the final—the club's first silverware in 17 years. This victory occurred amid a disappointing Premier League campaign that led to Ange Postecoglou's dismissal shortly after. James Maddison, a key player during this period, reflects positively on the achievement, ranking it among his proudest career moments alongside playing for England. Maddison credits Postecoglou's approach of using the club's trophy-winning history as motivation, with the manager emphasizing that while past achievements existed only in black-and-white photographs, the current squad could create new color memories. Despite Postecoglou's brief tenure ending just weeks after the Europa League triumph, his impact on the team's mentality proved instrumental in delivering the long-awaited trophy.
