UEFA has an own goal! Tottenham wins the championship, but Son Heung-min has no medals: 30 pieces have been sent

Europa League final, Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 to win the championship. After 17 years, Tottenham Hotspur once again won the championship trophy and won the European Championship for the first time in 41 years. At the post-match celebration, fans found interesting details: Son Heung-min, C-Romero and other Tottenham players, without championship medals. Before the final, UEFA brought the championship trophy and championship medals to the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao. The champion players bring medals and raise their glasses to celebrate, this is tradition. But what about Son Heung-min's medal? UEFA has to take the blame.

UEFA officially prepares 30 medals and should inform Tottenham in advance - only 30 people (players, coaches) can step onto the podium and accept the awards from UEFA President Cheferin. However, all Tottenham players and coaches lined up to go on stage to receive the prize.

When Son Heung-min came to the stage to receive the prize, UEFA President Cheferin was surprised: all the 30 medals prepared in advance had been paid, and there was no Son Heung-min's share.

Apart from Son Heung-min, defender C-Romero did not receive the medal. C-Romero is the official MVP of this game. After accepting the official MVP award from UEFA, the Argentine iron guards lined up outside the 30th place and did not receive a medal.

This creates a very rare situation: Son Heung-min, as the champion captain, does not wear a medal when he lifts the trophy. Richarlison, Vicario, and coach Postkoglu, who had been queuing up early to receive the award, smiled happily with medals.

Marca also stated that UEFA is a mysterious existence: Tottenham should have notified them in advance and let Tottenham choose 30 people to come to the stage to receive the award, instead of line up to receive the award one by one. In the end, captain Son Heung-min and MVP Romero have no medals.

Werner, who was not qualified for the European League and Reguilon, who was not selected, both won medals. After the game, Reguilon provided another statement: "UEFA told us that they prepared 50 medals and asked us to come on stage to receive the prize, so I didn't make it into the roster and I also went on stage to receive the prize." In this way, UEFA made a big own: I thought I had brought 50 medals, but in fact I only brought 30 to the scene...

However, Son Heung-min and C-Romero will still give the medals again. UEFA has prepared a total of 50 championship medals, of which 30 were issued on site, and 20 medals will be sent to Tottenham Hotspur Club, which will be awarded to players and coaches at its own discretion.
