FANS have slammed the “worst final ever” as Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy.
Spurs saw off Manchester United 1-0 in tonight’s all-English final in Bilbao.
Despite all the hype to the game, it was a cagey affair with the standard and excitement levels falling below par.
Even the goal lacked quality – not that Spurs fans cared – with Pape Sarr’s cross bobbling off Luke Shaw’s arm and trickling under Andre Onana in goal as Brennan Johnson claimed it.
The only real moment of brilliance came when Micky van de Ven’s acrobatically cleared Rasmus Hojlund’s header on the line as Tottenham defended resiliently.
But it was perhaps the poor match was not surprising given that both teams are 16th and 17th in the Premier League after woeful season.
Arsenal fans Piers Morgan led the complaints about the game, tweeting: “This must be the worst quality game in the history of European football competition finals.
“Absolutely shocking – and yet one of these useless bunch of wastrels will be in next year’s Champions League.”
He then added: “I mean, I expect Spurs to be this bad, but Manchester United? Just embarrassing.”
Ex-United ace Michael Owen said: “Can’t believe how bad the standard of this match is. Neither team can string three passes together.”
Others wrote: “This is the worst final I’ve ever seen.”
Another commented: “Worst final since Game of Thrones.”
More wrote: “I left work to watch this. I may go back.”
