FANS have slammed the “worst final ever”;; as Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy.
Spurs saw off Manchester United in Bilbao.
Despite all the hype to the game, it was a cagey affair with the standard and excitement levels falling below par.
Even the goal lacked quality – not that fans cared – with Pape Sarr’s cross bobbling off Luke Shaw’s arm and trickling under Andre Onana in goal as Brennan Johnson claimed it.
The only real moment of brilliance came when Micky van de Ven’s acrobatically cleared Rasmus Hojlund’s header on the line as Tottenham held on.
But a poor match was perhaps not surprising given that both teams are 16th and 17th in the after woeful seasons.
fan Piers Morgan led the complaints about the game, tweeting: “This must be the worst quality game in the history of European football competition finals.
“Absolutely shocking – and yet one of these useless bunch of wastrels will be in next year’s .”;;
He then added: “I mean, I expect Spurs to be this bad, but ? Just embarrassing.”;;
Ex-United ace Michael Owen said: “Can’t believe how bad the standard of this match is. Neither team can string three passes together.”;;
Others wrote: “This is the worst final I’ve ever seen.”;;
Another commented: “Worst final since Game of Thrones.”;;
More wrote: “I left work to watch this. I may go back.”;;
