First Tottenham star reacts to Ange Postecoglou sacking with social media statement
That famous night in Bilbao that delivered Tottenham a first piece of major silverware since the 2007/08 League Cup and first in Europe since the 1983/84 UEFA Cup, as well as sealing a return to the Champions League next season, was ultimately not enough for the Australian to save his job following a disastrous Premier League campaign that saw the club finish just one spot above the relegation zone in 17th, amassing only 38 points as they lost 22 of their 38 matches.

Portugal vs Spain prediction: Free betting tips as Ronaldo and Yamal meet in Iberian derby Nations League final
A CLASH of generations and a crunch Iberian derby comes this Sunday when Portugal and Spain meet in the Nations League final. SunSport have enlisted the help of their betting experts to preview the game and select the best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses from our leading betting partners. Portugal vs Spain preview This game will likely be built up as Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lamine Yamal. So who are we to change the narrative!? The 40-year-old and 17-year-old meet on the park in a big final for their countries at the end and beginning of their careers. And they're both arriving as the key men for their countries having both scored in the midweek semi finals! Portugal battled back from a goal down to score twice in five minutes midway through the second half to beat Germany in Munich. The Portuguese had double the attempts on goal of the hosts, including in a completely one-sided second half. But one of the best international games in years followed 24 hours later when Spain beat France 5-4 in a Stuttgart stunner. The Spaniards were 4-0 up after 55 minutes before Kylian Mbappe's penalty and Yamal scored six minutes later to restore a four-goal lead. France scored three more in the final 11 minutes to almost complete the sensational comeback but just came up short. Spain are still unbeaten in competitive games since March 2023, when beaten comprehensively by Scotland. Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Portugal vs Spain prediction Boy wonder It would be rather silly to ignore the teenage sensation, wouldn't it? Lamine Yamal's brace in midweek was further proof of his incredible rise this season, starring on yet another big stage.
