Tottenham Hotspur have sealed their place in the 2025 UEFA Europa League final after defeating Bodø/Glimt 2-0 in Norway, completing a convincing 5-1 aggregate victory. Leading the charge was Dominic Solanke, who broke the deadlock with a well-taken finish in the 63rd minute, followed by a Pedro Porro strike that confirmed Spurs’ first European final appearance since 2019.

Despite challenging conditions on Bodø/Glimt’s artificial pitch and the absence of key midfielders James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall, Spurs delivered a composed and mature performance. Solanke’s goal came from a close-range effort following a corner, showcasing his predatory instincts. Just six minutes later, Pedro Porro’s cross deceived the goalkeeper and found the back of the net, putting the tie beyond doubt.

Speaking after the match, manager Ange Postecoglou praised his side’s resilience:

“I couldn’t be prouder of the lads. We knew it was a tough place to play, given their home record and the pitch. We handled it well and absolutely deserved to go through. Now, we look forward to the final.”
Tottenham will now face Manchester United in an all-English Europa League final at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao on May 21. Both teams are eyeing silverware after underwhelming Premier League campaigns and know that a Europa League triumph would not only bring a trophy but also secure Champions League qualification for next season.

This semifinal success marks a huge moment for Tottenham, who are chasing their first major trophy since 2008. The performance also underlines the impact of recent signings like Solanke, whose goals have come at crucial stages of the European campaign.

Spurs fans can now look ahead to a massive final night in Bilbao—with the promise of glory just one win away.
