Tottenham Hotspur finally made history by ending a 17-year-long wait for a European trophy on Thursday, May 22. In a mouthwatering match, Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final at Athletic Bilbao's San Mames Stadium. But Manchester United's another loss has sparked a meme fest on social media.
Well, Tottenham's victory is not a regular one, as it earned Spurs a place in next season's Champions League. On the other hand, one thing that fans stop talking about is Brennan Johnson's goal in the first half, which legitimately proved to be a match-winning one.
Notably, Tottenham last lifted their league trophy in 2008. The victory is non-double, a big one, and it comes as a huge boost for fans and manager Ange Postecoglou.
It was a tight match as both teams faced off against each other and found it difficult to create a chance. However, the major breakthrough came in the 42nd minute when Tottenham scored the first goal.
Tottenham's star Pape Sarr kicked a pass into the penalty area, and it hit Luke Shaw from United, and Brennan Johnson tapped the ball to convert it into a goal. However, United tried their best to make the game a tie, but it seemed it was out of their luck.
United lifted their Europa League trophy back in the 2016-17 season, and the other loss on Thursday has sparked a meme fest online.
As soon as the match got over, social media saw a flood of memes regarding United's another loss. One shared a meme showing Tom & Jerry's Tom wearing a United jersey and planning to kill himself, "Man United fans after watching their team lose the UEL final and finish below 15th"
"Let¡¯s laugh at Manchester United ?????????," one wrote.
"Manchester United. Killed by Tottenham. We will rise again!"
Another shared, "Why is Manchester united making us sweat in this cold weather"
"These Manchester united memes are killing me ???," another added.
"Whenever you think of uselessness, think Manchester United ?????"
