Harry Kane is over the moon that Spurs managed to secure passage into the final of the Europa League, with the former Tottenham striker admitting that he will be cheering the Lilywhites on in the final in Bilbao.
After a long wait, the England captain finally won his first trophy last week as Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga Champions, and Spurs fans on social media were delighted to see Kane end his silverware drought.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to end their own 17-year trophy drought as they take on Manchester United in the final on May 21.
The Lilywhites have come close to winning several major honours over the last decade and a half, but have always tended to fall at the final hurdle, as Kane himself will be painfully aware of.
Harry Kane says Tottenham players should be proud
Kane pointed out that reaching the Europa League final is no mean feat, particularly considering the struggles Spurs have had in the Premier League.
He admitted that the final is a huge game for the club, and he will be cheering on his former side on against the Red Devils.
When asked about Tottenham’s passage into the final, Kane said on the Cleats Club: “It feels great to be honest. Obviously, big congratulations to Spurs. I know it’s been a tough season in many ways, but to get to a Europa League final is no easy feat.
MORE SPURS STORIES
“They should be proud of themselves. Obviously, one more game to go, a big game for the club. I’m obviously wishing them all the best, and I’ll be watching them in a couple of weeks.”
Can Spurs follow Kane’s lead and break their curse?
Harry Kane’s infamous trophy curse has now officially been broken, and Tottenham will hope that they can now do the same in Bilbao.
While Spurs players may feel the burden of the club’s disappointing recent history when they step out onto the pitch in the final, they will know that they can beat Man United, having done so thrice already this season.
Spurs fans, being eternal pessimists, would certainly not be confident going into the final, but they can dream that their side can pull off something special.
