Mohamed Salah congratulated Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou for winning the Europa League, ending a 17-year trophy drought against Manchester United.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah praised Tottenham Hotspur’s manager Ange Postecoglou on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, following their 1-0 Europa League final victory over Manchester United at San Mames Stadium, Bilbao. Salah’s message on X, “He did say he’d win in his second season. Congratulations!” referenced Postecoglou’s bold pre-season claim of always securing a trophy in his second year.
Brennan Johnson’s scrappy first-half goal clinched Tottenham’s first major trophy since 2008 and their first European title since 1984. Despite a dismal 17th-place Premier League campaign, the win earned Spurs a Champions League spot for 2025/26. Postecoglou’s history of second-season successes, from South Melbourne to Celtic, was highlighted by Salah’s post, which Jamie Carragher reposted.
The victory sparked jubilation among Spurs fans, with former goalkeeper Paul Robinson noting it erased the “Spursy” tag. However, speculation persists about Postecoglou’s future, with some predicting his exit despite the triumph.
Salah’s message, amplifying the rivalry with Manchester United, went viral, drawing widespread attention as Tottenham celebrated their historic achievement.
