James Maddison has certainly enjoyed proving a number of people wrong following Tottenham's Europa League victory. Though he missed the final because of injury, the attacking midfielder played a huge role in their path to the final and he is therefore deservedly basking in the celebrations.
That began pretty quickly after the full-time whistle with Maddison swiftly changing from his blazer and white shirt into a Spurs kit for the trophy lift.
Very soon after that, he reignited a light-hearted feud with Roy Keane after the Manchester United legend urged him to be more consistent earlier in the season.
"I wasn't going to do any interviews but then I heard it was Roy Keane," he began which resulted in Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards laughing hysterically. The latter then asked him to do his trademark darts celebration to which he duly obliged and said: "Roy Keane, that's for you son."
"I've always said he's a good player but he needs to be more consistent, simple as that and he played well tonight," Keane then responded while having a big smile on his face.
Maddison then retorted back with a tinge of discontent: "The reason why we were here tonight, Roy."
"I know you played your part, well done don't worry," the 53-year-old replied.
The Spurs man then admitted: "I am only messing. Delighted man, delighted. All joking aside people like yourself and Roy who go quite heavy in the media about putting us down and that, you have got to use that, you have got to use that.
"When I joined Tottenham, you know what it's like, everyone just goes 'oh he's retired from winning trophies now' and all this. I said to my dad and my best mate, I am going to lift silverware for Tottenham.
And the latter statement is exactly what he has been able to do which has seen him prove Simon Jordan wrong following his comments that Spurs won't be able to win things with 'players like James Maddison'.
The 28-year-old has since posted Jordan's comments in full as part of a 21-second clip on his social media with the caption: "Bookmarked it, knew it would come in handy [trophy and smiling face with sunglasses emoji.]"
"If you want to win something you've got to bring in players that are able to operate at the highest level. I look at someone like James Maddison who is a good player but I don't think you'll win things with James Maddison."
The footage then cuts to him laughing at the San Mames sat next to the Europa League trophy before Son Heung-min lifted the cup for the first time.
