It’s been nearly five years since Amazon’s last Tottenham Hotspur documentary, but few games have encapsulated the meaning of All or Nothing more than Spurs’ upcoming Europa League final with Manchester United. The winner will be handed the lifeline of a European trophy and around £10.95m in prize money, marking not only a healthy PSR boost but also a huge lifeline in the form of Champions League qualification and the player-pulling power that comes with that status.
Spurs last qualified for the Champions League in 2022/23 and haven’t experienced the highs of a European honour since 1984. They have fallen short in their last three major cup finals and are chasing their first piece of silverware since winning the League Cup with Juande Ramos in 2008.
It’s a trophy that would not only put Spurs back on the right track after a dismal campaign but could also act as the saving grace behind Ange Postecoglou’s future.
Failure to win of course, would be the opposite of almost all that’s just been mentioned, but if Tottenham can defeat the Red Devils for the fourth time this season, they’ll be handed a golden opportunity to capitalise in the transfer market.
The bold transfer race Tottenham should look to enter
Mail Sport have claimed that Real Madrid star Rodrygo no longer wants to play for the club due to an issue involving Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. The Brazilian didn’t feature during the weekend’s 4-3 defeat to Barcelona and it’s reported the 24-year-old will look to follow future national team boss Carlo Ancelotti out of the door this summer.
Quite how true these reports are remains to be seen but there’s certainly a chance that the two-time Champions League winner will look for a new challenge next summer. Too many cooks, and all that. Reports have suggested that both Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing Rodrygo in the summer transfer window. Football Insider have claimed that Madrid could demand in the region of £85m to allow him to depart, which could deter potential suitors.
Arsenal ideally will look to prioritise a centre forward while Liverpool are scouring the market for reinforcements at both right-back and left-back following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s imminent departure.

This could open the door for Spurs to make a bold but ambitious approach for a player that would almost certainly improve the team’s attacking options and potentially offer the team a long-term solution to Heung Min-Son after his subdued season. Meeting Real Madrid’s demands could be challenging for the north London side, but there’s one cheeky trick they could have up their sleeve, providing the player himself would actually be interested in the move.
The unbelievable swap deal Spurs could look to strike
Sun Sport suggest Real Madrid will target Cristian Romero this summer to help rebuild the backline. Incoming manager Xabi Alonso is reported to be a fan of the Argentine defender and World Cup winner, who he believes would fit in well to his preferred three-at-the-back formation.
Romero has been at Tottenham for four seasons in total but has been limited to just 18 games this term due to injury. The 27-year-old is reported by Football Insider to be valued at around £50m.
This could potentially lead to Spurs offering around £35m to get their hands on Rodrgyo with Romero as a makeweight to help facilitate the deal. It’s potentially a dream scenario for the capital club, who would no doubt welcome the Brazilian international with open arms; whether it’s feasible, however, remains to be seen.
