Tottenham defender joins Brennan Johnson in getting Europa League tattoo after iconic win

3 hours ago 3

Tottenham Hotspur are enjoying life as the reigning champions of Europe, yet the celebrations from that famous night in Bilbao have taken on an even more personal meaning for some players who lifted the trophy.

Tottenham Hotspur are champions of Europe following their Europa League triumph back in May earlier this year, and that victory has continued to shape the mood around the club as they settle into a new era under Thomas Frank.

A 1-0 victory over Manchester United was enough for Spurs to clinch their first trophy since 2008, ending a 17-year wait and bringing a long-overdue moment of joy to supporters who had travelled everywhere with hope rather than expectation.

For Tottenham, they would now be hoping to build on that triumph under their new manager in the coming years, as the club aims to turn one historic night into a sustained period of progress.

Spurs fans are not the only ones who hold the memory of that night in Bilbao dear, as the players who won the trophy are just as delighted with that triumph and have carried its significance with them.

Several players are prepared to keep that memory close for as long as they can, with Brennan Johnson getting the image of the cup tattooed on his leg to mark the occasion.

The Welshman is not the only Spurs player to have gone for a permanent piece of memorabilia, with Pedro Porro also following suit, as it has now been revealed that he too got a tattoo of the Europa League trophy after winning the cup with Tottenham last season.

Spurs pushing for more European success under Thomas Frank

Spurs are trying their best to build on last season’s performance in Europe, as their triumph earned them a spot in this season’s Champions League and handed them a chance to test themselves against the continent’s elite.

Thomas Frank’s men have the opportunity to push for a bigger piece of silverware in Europe’s premier competition, and they have started to do so well as they look increasingly comfortable in the league phase.

Spurs remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season, having won two and drawn two of their opening four games.

Frank and his men would now be hoping to make it out of the first stage of the competition, with the team currently one point off the automatic qualification spot.
