Moment baffled Man Utd fan gets trapped in toilet in Bilbao and is left soaked by self-cleaning system
MAN, loo, disunited - a Red Devils fan saw a Bilbao toilet turn into an escape room - before he was drenched by its self-cleaning device.
The soggy supporter suffered a double whammy as he matched United's Europa League final loss to Spurs with his own undignified de-throning.

The man went viral for his unexpected mishap as he posted a clip of his own cubicle quandary.
It all stemmed from Bilbao City Council installing a host of automatic public restrooms.
Once a toilet user leaves a stall, the system is activated.
Pressurized water and disinfectants gush in to clean the interior.
Or that's the theory.
On this occasion the travelling fan had his own ideas - or lack of them.
He can be seen in his own video looking bemused as he's soaked while still inside the cubicle.
At one stage he couldn't hold it in any more as he yelled out: 'What the f***? What is going on?
"Oh my God, what the f***? All I wanted was a p***."
He did attempt to avoid more showery carnage to his clothes - by trying to evade the water jets.
But he ended up hopping onto a step with sodden pants as he confirmed: 'My legs just got p****d off wet!'
Son Heung-min hit in head by TROPHY as Tottenham celebrate Europa League victory over Man Utd
United's 1-0 defeat to fellow Prem flops Spurs might have distracted him from his personal misfortune when he finally made it out of Spain.
But unlike the Red Devils he did win something in midweek - online fame.
He even made it the smallest room with a review - as he posted his verdict: "Weirdest toilet ever."
Admittedly the fan didn't give the toilet any stars - but he did add two emojis, albeit of the crying with laughter variety.
TikTok users sympathised, with one saying: "HAHAHAHAHA the car wash... You have to leave before... although I'm also scared being from Bilbao."
Another told him what he must surely now know: "You're supposed to get out mate, those bathrooms are programmed to get cleaned after usage."
It all took place in a cubicle - so it didn't count as a Europa Leek Urinal.
In contrast, it was in a cauldron, the San Memes, and in the Europa League final, where United went down the pan - blowing their last chance to offset a dreadful Prem season.

Tottenham decide transfer stance after missing out on two targets
Tottenham are prioritising the appointment of their new head coach but there is recognition that they must now act quickly following a slow start to their summer transfer business Tottenham's hesitance over the future of Ange Postecoglou has already seen them miss out on two midfielders and now they want to get a deal for the Aussie's successor in place to avoid missing out on further targets. Daniel Levy had spent the past two weeks deliberating whether to stick or twist in the aftermath of Spurs' Europa League triumph in Bilbao before finally pulling the trigger on Postecoglou on Friday. Thomas Frank is considered the clear frontrunner to replace the 59-year-old and while Brentford are yet to receive a formal approach for the Dane, positive talks have already taken place with Frank. Fulham's Marco Silva remains another name of interest but barring a significant U-turn, it looks as though Spurs will push ahead with a swoop for Frank, whose Brentford contract contains a significant buy-out clause. The Bees head coach is thought to have a good relationship with Spurs technical director and compatriot Johan Lange, who is expected to remain at the club and he'll also be tasked with overseeing transfer business alongside the likely returning Fabio Paratici. Spurs have already lost key ground in the market, England international Angel Gomes, a player Tottenham had been pursuing, has opted to join Marseille on a free transfer after also snubbing West Ham. Gomes' contract with Lille is set to expire at the end of the month but he now looks poised to remain in France after warming to the idea of working with Roberto De Zerbi. Meanwhile, Real Betis' American maestro Johnny Cardoso has agreed to join Atletico Madrid, providing a club-to-club deal can be struck. Last summer, Spurs negotiated a £21million first-option clause - that can only be triggered during a two-week window - on USMNT starlet Cardoso when selling Giovani Lo Celso to Betis. But it now looks as though Atletico will pounce and conclude a deal at a higher price for the highly-rated 23-year-old, who is not willing to wait around for Tottenham. Names of continued interest are the likes of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who has a £68m buy-out clause (worth £60m + £8m in add-ons) that becomes active this summer, and Eagles skipper Marc Guehi while the Europa League winners were also tracking Bryan Mbeumo. Mbeumo has intimated that he wants to join Manchester United, who have had a £55m bid rejected and it remains to be seen if Tottenham-linked Frank could potentially swing the balance and convince his current player to join him in north London, if he lands the job. Ultimately, until Spurs know who their new manager is going to be - he will have a clear say on targets - it's difficult to envisage them splashing out on mega-money deals. Business will also likely be shaped by potential outgoings with Cristian Romero and captain Heung-min Son among those that could yet seek to pursue new challenges. Inevitably, they would need to be replaced with quality. Spurs remain keen on signing Mathys Tel on a permanent basis but they want to negotiate with Bayern Munich and won't be triggering their mooted £45m buy-option.

Prince William urges world to help save seas as he joins Sir David Attenborough to discuss deteriorating oceans
PRINCE William will today urge the world to help save our seas — as he joins Sir David Attenborough to discuss deteriorating oceans. William is expected to call on everyone to 'think big in your actions' when he highlights the urgency of the situation in a landmark speech. 3 3 In the address in Monaco at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum, he will say: 'Let us act together with urgency and optimism while we still have the chance.' The father of three, 42, is there as founder of the Earthshot environmental prize which has 'Revive Our Oceans' as one of its themes. A Kensington Palace spokesman said: 'This speech is the Prince of Wales calling for action to save our oceans now. "The world is watching. This is him using his platform to call for more to be done sooner rather than later.' William sits down with Sir David, 99, to celebrate the environmentalist's new film, Ocean, which is released on streaming platforms today, World Oceans Day. The Prince asks: 'David, from what you've seen over the years, what state would you say the oceans are in right now?' He replies: 'The awful thing is it's hidden from you and from me and from most people. 'The thing I'm appalled by when I first saw the shots taken for this film are what we have done to the deep ocean floor is just unspeakably awful. "If you did anything remotely like it on land everybody was up in arms. If this film . . . just shifts public awareness, it will be very, very important. "And I can only hope that people who see it will recognise that something must be done before we destroy this great treasure.' Ocean with David Attenborough, official trailer Asked by the Prince if there are things deep down in the oceans 'we've never seen', he answers that it is 'beyond question'. They also discuss Sir David's decades of ocean exploration and the vital role the ocean has in supporting and sustaining life on Earth. Wills and Sir David also speak about the importance of remaining optimistic about ocean protection and the role younger people play. At the beginning of the film, Sir David has the Prince in stitches as he tries on a diving helmet used in filming 1990's The Trials of Life. They also inspect an underwater camera used in filming Ocean.

This time last year, Lily was sat up here cheering me on and she was there with me tonight when it got tough, when it got hard."From round eight, I thought, 'I've got to dig deep, I've got to keep pushing, I've got to do it for her'. She was with me tonight."With the win, Simpson puts himself in prime contention for a step up to world level by the end of the the raucous Oakwell crowd feared the worse with only eight seconds on the clock in in the opening round when Zucco downed Simpson with a hard left shook off the early knockdown and buzzed Zucco with some fine punching of his own, but the home favourite was caught too square in the third round, dropped for the second time by a left on by 23,000 inside the football ground, Simpson was not to be deterred and he continued to advance - taking a number of risks along the sensed an opening in the 10th round as he stalked Zucco before launching a stunning left uppercut on the chin of his opponent - who then sank to his knees before beating the was subjected to another punishing uppercut and slumped to his knees but he bravely rose on the count of eight, until a third knockdown meant the Italian's corner pulled their man out of the fight.
