Spurs desperate to join host of clubs who ended trophy drought this season
Winning the Europa League would mean everything to this Tottenham squad and their supporters, who have endured a torrid domestic season.
Spurs currently sit 17th in the Premier League, a staggering twelve places below where they finished last season. For fans who have seen their side stumble all year, this final offers a rare chance to salvage pride.
Manchester United are not faring much better. They are only one point and one place above Spurs in the Premier League table, and their campaign has been equally disappointing.
