TOTTENHAM ENDED THEIR 17-YEAR TROPHY DROUGHT AND SENT MISFIRING MANCHESTER UNITED INTO A TAILSPIN AS UNDER-FIRE ANGE POSTECOGLOU OVERSAW A 1-0 VICTORY IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL 18:24, 21

May 2025Updated 22:18, 21 May 2025 It's not just the Europa League trophy that will delight Tottenham - they'll also scoop plenty of prize money following their win over Manchester

United in Bilbao on Wednesday night. Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal saw Spurs end their 17-year trophy drought. Both teams navigated the new league phase, finishing in the top eight to

avoid an extra play-off round. Both were also put to the test during the knockout rounds, but reached the final after home-and-away victories against Athletic Club and Bodo/Glimt

respectively in the semis. According to official UEFA figures, the two finalists are each guaranteed a little over £5.9MILLION just for making it to Bilbao. Spurs will double their takings

though, with an extra £5.06M going to the winner. That's about half of what the Champions League winners will earn. Whichever of Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain wins that tournament

will receive £21.1m, compared to just shy of £11m for the Europa League winners. Those numbers are just for the knockout runs, with all 36 teams in the Europa League's league phase

entitled to £3.63m as well as further payouts based on results. A reward of around £380,000 per win and £126,500 per draw means both United and Spurs earned seven-figure sums for their

league phase performances. READ MORE: Europa League Final LIVE: Man Utd and Spurs 'leaked' lineups, live stream details, fans FIGHTREAD MORE: Paddy Power offer: Back 80/1 Tottenham

or 70/1 Man United to win the Europa League final That's only part of the story, though. Due to the two teams' lowly Premier League positions, both teams knew this competition was

the only chance they'd have of playing in Europe next season - and it's Spurs who will be in the Champions League. Article continues below Spurs will scoop an estimated £100M for

making it into the Champions League, with a chance to boost that total even more by reaching the latter stages of that tournament next season. Following the win, former Spurs goalkeeper Paul

Robinson told BBC Radio 5 Live: "What scenes and limbs in that Tottenham end of the ground. The players, the staff, the supporters you can see what that means to the club. They have

won a trophy. They have taken away that 'Spursy' tag and nobody can point that at them any more. Article continues below "17 long years without a trophy, a really poor

domestic campaign, it's all turned around. A European trophy, Champions League football and who knows what springboard that could be for the club." Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp
