Tottenham Hotspur wins Europa League after 17 years; Manchester Utd's final loss sparks meme fest: 'When you think of uselessness...'
Tottenham Hotspur finally made history by ending a 17-year-long wait for a European trophy on Thursday, May 22. In a mouthwatering match, Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final at Athletic Bilbao's San Mames Stadium. But Manchester United's another loss has sparked a meme fest on social media.
Well, Tottenham's victory is not a regular one, as it earned Spurs a place in next season's Champions League. On the other hand, one thing that fans stop talking about is Brennan Johnson's goal in the first half, which legitimately proved to be a match-winning one.
Notably, Tottenham last lifted their league trophy in 2008. The victory is non-double, a big one, and it comes as a huge boost for fans and manager Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United final
It was a tight match as both teams faced off against each other and found it difficult to create a chance. However, the major breakthrough came in the 42nd minute when Tottenham scored the first goal.
Tottenham's star Pape Sarr kicked a pass into the penalty area, and it hit Luke Shaw from United, and Brennan Johnson tapped the ball to convert it into a goal. However, United tried their best to make the game a tie, but it seemed it was out of their luck.
United lifted their Europa League trophy back in the 2016-17 season, and the other loss on Thursday has sparked a meme fest online.

RCB win IPL 2025, PSG clinch Champions League: Two iconic triumphs, one blueprint
From the streets of Bengaluru to the heart of Paris, two teams finally achieved their long-awaited dreams in 2025. Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Paris Saint-Germain — both known for chasing stars in the past — found success by doing the exact opposite: building strong, united teams that worked as close to two decades, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were cricket's most glittering paradox. A franchise built on star power — Gayle, de Villiers, Kohli, Starc — but haunted by the absence of silverware. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, were Europe's most expensive promise: fronted by names like Neymar, Messi and Mbapp, and yet always falling short on the continent's biggest 2025 flipped the script. RCB ended an 18-year wait by clinching their maiden IPL title with a narrow six-run win over Punjab Kings in the final. Just days earlier, PSG decimated Inter Milan 5-0 in the UEFA Champions League final in Munich — their first-ever European crown. Though they play different sports on different continents, both teams found glory by walking the same secret? They stopped trying to buy greatness and started building Behind the Superstar EraPSG's past was filled with famous names, but little success in Europe. Despite spending millions, the Champions League kept escaping them. But under Luis Enrique, PSG stopped chasing individual brilliance and focused on team were no big egos in 2025. No Mbapp, no Neymar, no Messi. Instead, players like Ousmane Dembl stepped up, playing with purpose and hunger. PSG pressed hard, moved together, and played for each other — not for headlines. Their 5-0 win in the final wasn't just a victory; it was a statement. This was a team that had finally found the right Long-Awaited GloryadvertisementRCB, too, were once known for star power. But for 17 seasons, titles remained out of reach. When the 2025 auction came around, many fans expected them to chase big names again — KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer. Instead, RCB chose built a balanced team: Josh Hazlewood led the pace attack, Phil Salt partnered Kohli at the top, and finishers like Tim David and Romario Shepherd delivered in crunch moments. Jitesh Sharma added fire in the middle order, while Krunal Pandya and Yash Dayal gave them control with the questioned their choices, but the results spoke loudest. RCB beat Punjab Kings in the final by six runs, with contributions coming from across the squad. No single hero — just a solid, united New BlueprintThis year, both PSG and RCB rewrote the rules. No more depending on one or two stars to carry the load. No more buying big for the sake of it. Their message was simple: if you want to win, build a team that believes in each other — and plays like 2025, both PSG and RCB chose a different kind of signing — not the most glamorous, but the most fitting. PSG brought in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, not for headlines, but to fit seamlessly into Luis Enrique's high-pressing, team-oriented system. The Georgian forward may not have carried the marketing weight of a Neymar or Mbapp, but his understanding of space, work rate, and ability to link up with others made him a crucial piece of the followed a similar line of thinking. They didn't go after flashy Indian names like KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant in the auction. Instead, they focused on players who could lift the entire squad. Josh Hazlewood was brought back to anchor the pace attack with discipline. Krunal Pandya added both spin variety and lower-order batting depth. These weren't headline-stealers — they were glue guys. The kind that hold title-winning teams shared strategy — prioritising team chemistry over star status — became the heart of their 2025 MattersRCB's downfall in past seasons often came after their top order faltered. In 2025, that script flipped. Tim David, Jitesh Sharma, and Romario Shepherd formed a powerful middle-order core. They didn't just support the top — they rescued games, turned matches, and led finishes. Jitesh's 85 off 33 vs LSG, Shepherd's 14-ball 53 against CSK, David's sharp cameos — these were innings that built trophies, not had their own unsung heroes. Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaire-Emery — players who may not sell jerseys but won their midfield battles all season. Their 5-0 dismantling of Inter Milan in the final wasn't about one man shining — it was eleven working like LegacyRCB's win wasn't just about a cup. It was about closure — for years of near-misses, of being mocked for 'choking', of loyal fans waiting endlessly. And they did it without leaning solely on Kohli. The captaincy changed hands to a less popular name of Rajat Patidar, the burden was shared, and for once, the whole team rose to the Champions League title was just as symbolic.
