Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, sent a congratulatory message to Son Heung-min (Tottenham).
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu said on his SNS on the 23rd, "Congratulations on the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League victory between Son Heung-min and Tottenham Hotspur. I hope Son will make a new history with Tottenham and the Korean national soccer team."
Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final held in San Manes Barria, Bilbao, Spain on the 22nd (Korea time). After winning the English Football League (EFL) Cup in the 2007-08 season, he broke the "no relation" and won the trophy he had hoped for.
Son Heung-min also claimed his first trophy since his debut as a professional player in 2010. Son has been longing for the championship. He recently said through the club's Open Training Media Day, "I wandered around for the last piece of the puzzle. It was a chance to never come again." Son Heung-min played as a substitute in the second half of the final, and led his team's attack. He did not make a valid scene, but he led his team to victory by struggling until the end with the captain's armband on.
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu said, "Like many soccer fans who desperately wanted Son to lift his first trophy as captain, I was nervous at dawn and cheered for the captain of our national team. With this victory, Son became the first Asian player to lift the trophy as captain in the UEFA competition finals. It is a new milestone that shows the power of Korean soccer to the world."
"I am grateful for giving great joy and courage to our people who always love soccer. I hope you will continue to write a new history of Korean soccer in the future," he said.
Son Heung-min's 2024-25 season is not over yet. He has the final match of the Premier League against Brighton on the 26th. Currently, Tottenham ranks 17th in the league with 11 wins, 5 draws and 21 losses (38 points). Except for the three teams that confirmed their relegation, Tottenham was in the bottom and worst season, but with this Europa League victory, they will return to the UEFA Champions League next season. It is the first time in three seasons since the last 2022-23 season. 온라인바카라
Son Heung-min's journey continues even after the end of the season. Soon after, he will join the Korean national soccer team led by coach Hong Myung-bo and play the 9th to 10th Asian qualifiers for the 2026 North-China World Cup that will lead to Iraq and Kuwait. During this schedule, he plans to confirm his qualification for the World Cup finals.
