Following PSG’s historic Champions League final victory, we now know who will be playing in next season’s UEFA Super Cup.

Pari…

A record number of English teams will play in Europe next season.

Jose Mourinho admits the Europa League final will have ‘huge impact’ on both champions Tottenham and runners-up Manchester United.

Ange Postecoglou’s…

Does this change anything in terms of European qualification?

Brighton will give a guard of honour to Tottenham following their victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final this week.

Spurs ended their 17-year wait for a trophy as Brennan Johnson’s goal sealed a historic win for Ange Postecoglou’s side in Bilbao.

The newly crowned Europa League winners host Brighton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the final day of the Premier League season on Sunday and could end the campaign in 14th place if they win and Manchester United, West Ham and Wolves all fail to pick up three points.

As it stands, Spurs sit 17th in the Premier League but they will receive a guard of honour from Brighton’s players when they walk out onto the pitch for Sunday’s game.

Typically, a guard of honour in a Premier League match is only reserved for the domestic champions and Liverpool have enjoyed that gesture in their games against Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton this month.

However, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler believes Spurs’ success in a European competition also needs to be recognised.

‘Like we did against Liverpool, if great clubs achieve great things then it’s always a positive thing and also if English clubs achieve great things in the international cups,’ Hurzeler said.

‘I’m very happy for them. Of course, they deserve it, so we will do it.’

Hurzeler also paid tribute to Postecoglou and says the 59-year-old is a role model.

‘I’m happy for [Postecoglou] because he’s a very good guy. He deserves it,’ Hurzeler said.

‘He has a lot of pressure and how he deals with it, I think he’s a role model for young coaches as well, like me.

‘I’m very happy for him. I know that he worked hard for this and what I really like is that he said already in September after a game against Arsenal [that he wins trophies in his second season].

‘He’s a man who can look into the future and that’s something very impressive.’

Ange Postecoglou has urged Tottenham’s hierarchy to sign players with ‘experience’ in the summer transfer window.

Spurs head into Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season at home to Brighton on a high following their 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final on Wednesday night.

Postecoglou, who has ended Spurs’ 17-year wait for a trophy, admitted after the victory in Bilbao that he sacrificed the team’s Premier League campaign in order to focus on winning the Europa League.

Spurs have been hampered by multiple injuries to key players this season, forcing Postecoglou to heavily rely on 19-year-old duo Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, who were both signed last summer with no Premier League experience.

Postecoglou, who suggested during Spurs’ trophy parade on Friday that he is staying for a third campaign, believes the club now need to add more seasoned players to his squad ahead of their return to the Champions League next term.

‘You learn from every season,’ Postecoglou said ahead of Spurs’ game against Brighton.

‘Looking back at our pre-season last year, I don’t think it was ideal and there were certain things we needed to do differently, and certainly design differently for the coming year, how we get our guys ready for the biggest challenge of Premier League and Champions League football, we know it’s a massive challenge.

‘I think our players will be better equipped. People forget, we signed Dom [Solanke] who has been unbelievable for us but then we signed three teenagers, they weren’t ready for what was ahead. They’ve been unbelievable, obviously Wilson [Odobert] has missed a lot of the season but Lucas and Archie [have been] unbelievable.

‘We signed three teenagers and the start of next year they’re not going to be teenagers, they’re more than ready so we’ll be in a better space straight away.

‘That’s the other lesson learned, I don’t think it would be my sort of direction, you need to now bring in some experience for this group in terms of our recruiting. So that changes, you learn some lessons from that as well.

‘I said all along, I have still felt there has been growth this year and we’ll be much better placed at the beginning of next year to tackle what’s ahead than we were at the start of this one.’

Postecoglou also said he was ‘overwhelmed’ by the thousands of supporters who attended Spurs’ trophy parade on Friday.

‘Come Monday, I won’t have a care in the world, but I assume I’ll have an indication at some point. Only because you know there’s some serious planning to do more than anything else, but I won’t have any problem switching off,’ Postecoglou said.

‘I was overwhelmed by the sea of people and every demographic you can think of. There were grown men crying, women, girls and boys just so ecstatic.

‘When you see the sheer magnitude of the numbers, you realise it is a massive club.

‘I had a sense of that before I joined but I guess even for the club itself, it reaffirms that missing piece of success and what it can do to galvanise a supporter base and really show the size of the club.

‘It’s fair to say it is a massive club and the opportunity now is to make it bigger than ever.’

The Wolves star was keen for Champions League football.

Ange Postecoglou has given the clearest indication yet that he is staying at Tottenham in his speech during the club’s Europa League trophy parade on Friday night.

Standing in front of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Postecoglou addressed the thousands of fans who had lined the streets to get a glimpse of the players travelling on an open-top bus with the Europa League trophy.

Postecoglou told Spurs supporters: ‘I told them, I told them and they laughed. I told them and they didn’t believe, but here we are.

‘And we’re here because of this unbelieveable group of people, players, staff, absolute heroes, lef by the legend Son Heung-min, Cuti Romero, James Maddison and Guillermo Vicario.

‘All of them are heroes and they did it all for you, because you deserve it, the club deserves it.

‘And I’ll tell you something, I’ll leave you with this… all the best television series, season three is better than season two.’

The Australian’s sign off was greeted with a huge cheer from both the supporters and the Spurs players stood beside him.

Postecoglou’s future was in major doubt before the Europa League final due to Spurs’ abysmal form in the Premier League.

Ahead of the final day of the Premier League season this Sunday, Spurs sit 17th in the table with 38 points from 37 games.

Only the three relegated Premier league sides – Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City – have lost more games than Spurs this term.

But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is now faced with a huge decision after Postecoglou delivered Spurs’ first trophy in 17 years after his side beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening.

Speaking after the game, Postecoglou admitted that he had sacrificed Spurs’ Premier League campaign from January in order to focus on winning the Europa League, a decision which he claimed was not widely backed by the club’s hierarchy.

‘I think when we got to the end of January – the end of the transfer window and assessed our situation – I made a decision there and then that this was the trophy we were going to go for,’ Postecoglou said.

‘It was at odds with what other people believed at the time we should do and that’s understandable but I really believed we could win this.

‘Everything we’ve done since then, everything we’ve done in training and the teams I’ve selected were making sure that when these games came around that we were in the best possible position to tackle them.

‘That has come at a cost for sure in the league and I have to take responsibility for that, but I just felt the end game of winning something was more important to me and it’s the only way that I was going to do it.’

Postecoglou also claimed after the Europa League final that he had not had a conversation with Levy about his future as Spurs’ manager.

‘No, no planned meetings,’ the 59-year-old said.

‘I haven’t had any discussions, no one has spoken to me about anything. Maybe they felt like they didn’t need to or they were waiting for this game.’
