During the awards ceremony for the Europa League final, some Tottenham Hotspur players, including Son Heung-Min, did not receive medals after their 1-0 victory over Manchester United. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin was surprised by this shortage, which occurred because Tottenham brought too many representatives despite being informed that only 30 medals would be presented on stage. Following the ceremony, 20 additional medals were provided to the club for distribution. Despite the awkward situation, this victory marked Tottenham's first major title since 2008, with Son lifting the trophy.
UEFA later stated that the unexpected shortage of medals was due to Tottenham sending too many representatives to the ceremony, despite prior guidelines about the limit.
Despite Tottenham winning the Europa League final, Son Heung-Min and several teammates were left without medals initially, highlighting a miscommunication at the ceremony.
The UEFA President was surprised by the number of players left medal-less after the 1-0 win over Manchester United, raising concerns about procedural adherence.
This win marks Tottenham's first major title in over a decade, with Son lifting the trophy but facing an awkward situation at the awards ceremony.
