Yves Bissouma of Tottenham Hotspur experienced an unforgettable moment after defeating Bodo/Glimt to reach the Europa League final. However, he aims to surpass this achievement in the upcoming match. On 21 May, Spurs will face Manchester United in Bilbao for Europe's second-most prestigious tournament. Both teams are eager to make amends for disappointing domestic seasons.

Tottenham's season has been challenging, with 24 losses across all competitions, marking their second-highest defeat tally since the 1991-92 season when they lost 25 times. Currently, they are positioned 17th in the Premier League standings, just behind Ruben Amorim's team. Amorim's side is aiming for their second Europa League title, having won it previously in the 2016-17 season.

Bissouma expressed his joy about reaching the final, stating, "It was the best night of my life because I qualified for the final of the Europa League." He added that nothing could change this moment and he would never forget it. Bissouma remains hopeful for an even better experience and is working hard to be prepared.

The midfielder highlighted that playing in a European final is a rare opportunity and feels like a dream come true. He emphasised that everyone at the club deserves this success due to their hard work and dedication. "We have to do the right things to bring that trophy home," he stated.

Impressive European Performances

Despite domestic challenges, both clubs have excelled in Europe. Manchester United remain unbeaten in their 14 Europa League matches this season (W9 D5), setting a record for their longest undefeated run in a single European campaign. Meanwhile, Tottenham achieved nine victories (D3 L2) in this competition, marking their highest win count in any major European tournament.

Bissouma played a key role during Spurs' semi-final victory by taking more shots (six) and winning possession more times in the defensive third (six) than any other player. He acknowledged his teammates' efforts by saying, "It's not just me; it's a team." The coaches and staff contribute significantly to their success.

Aiming for Glory

The midfielder praised his team's unity during tough times and stressed that giving up is not an option. "We work so hard; we are a Spurs family," he said. Bissouma credited his performance to the guidance from coaches and rigorous training sessions that helped him excel on the field.

As they prepare for one last game, Bissouma remains optimistic about achieving their ultimate goal: winning the Europa League trophy. The team is ready to give their best effort and seize this opportunity.
