Ange Postecoglou, indicted in the court of public opinion long ago, relentlessly mocked for declaring he always wins something in his second season at a club, could barely contain his emotions. A man from 10,000 miles away who instantly understood what it meant to be Spurs.
That Europa League trophy will glimmer with light, at the end of these darkest of days. In the kind of delicious euphoria that feels like a dream, every desperate incantation echoed around a sea of navy and white. Known to its locals as the Cathedral, for 90 minutes San Mames became an unlikely temple of Hotspur hope and decades of prayers were finally answered.
It was not until Johnson reeled away that a stunned United could fully grasp what had happened. There was even a delicious split second between goal and celebration, the tens of thousands of Spurs fans behind the goal gasping the collective intake of breath before daring to move.
At full time, Son Heung-min, a player who has given everything for the past decade, sunk to his knees. The young substitute Archie Gray could barely believe the scene he had walked into.
To think, Tottenham did it without their own two best creators, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. It is beyond the wildest dreams of what anyone thought possible of this beleaguered group.
