Tottenham will face Manchester United in the final match of the 2024-25 edition of the UEFA Europa League, as the two English giants have their last chance to play Champions League soccer if they win on Wednesday at the San Mames in Bilbao live on Paramount+. Spurs are chasing a first European trophy since 1984 and haven’t won a title since the League Cup in 2008, while United are hoping to repeat their 2017 triumph in the second all-English final of the Europa League era. Both teams are also dealing with injuries, as it was underlined by both managers Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim ahead of the final on Tuesday.
Postecoglou said, “It is a great prize. You know the significance of Champions League qualification and what comes with it. You get to play against the best on the continent. But the club has been in the Champions League before, they have not won a trophy for a long time – so that is the most important thing.”
Spurs captain Son was back in the team last week and started for the first time in weeks over the weekend and will also start against Manchester United. “He is so important to the group. He is so important as a leader and he is such an important figure at this football club. It would be great to cap his career off with a trophy for him.”
Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall has been ruled out while Pape Matar Sarr is fit, though, overcoming a back issue that prompted a scare when he was withdrawn during the defeat to Aston Villa last Friday. James Maddison as also been declared unavailable, while several players are ineligible, including Antonin Kinsky, Fraser Forster, Timo Werner and former Manchester United fullback Sergio Reguilon. Former Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski has also joined Radu Dragusin and Dane Scarlett on the injurey list and will miss the Europa League final on Wednesday.

Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim, on the other hand, was surprised to see Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee recovering back in time for the final, saying, “So they recover quite well. They push, of course, and we have to respect the feeling of the player but we push a little bit, as they wanted to be part of the team. That is a very good sign. Very good for us. Of course, they are limited in the minutes for the game but they can help us win the game”.

Where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s free-throw attempts rank in NBA MVP history, and why context is important
Getty Images Game 1 of the Western Conference finals brought a seasons-long debate back to the forefront, as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander polarized the global NBA community once again with his ability to get to the free-throw line. Accusations of foul-baiting have been hurled at SGA for the last few years, but this season's critiques have been particularly harsh given the success of both himself and his team.Expect the conversation to only get louder after Gilgeous-Alexander was officially named NBA MVP on Wednesday night. The seventh-year guard put up one of the best offensive seasons in NBA history, leading the league in scoring with 32.7 points per game, but some have devalued his production due to his propensity to draw fouls and earn points from the charity stripe. Others argue that Gilgeous-Alexander is simply taking advantage of the […]

Indy 500 controversy puts Roger Penske’s legacy of integrity under scrutiny
INDIANAPOLIS — The day after Roger Penske took ownership of Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2019, the then-82-year-old reportedly walked around every inch of the massive property to make a list of potential improvements.Since then, his beloved speedway has indeed become “Penske Perfect,” the term the team often uses to describe its standard. Racing’s version of a gigantic Wrigley Field has been refreshed, spruced up and revitalized — reminiscent of Penske’s sprawling race shop in North Carolina, where anyone would be comfortable eating off the floors. In the world of “The Captain,” as Penske is known, seemingly no detail is overlooked.AdvertisementIn some ways, that’s what has made the recent controversies involving his team and series so stunning. For an iconic businessman and racer whose esteemed reputation and integrity are above reproach, Penske has shockingly found himself dragged into the mud.“Believe me, […]
