Both teams were eager to lift Bilbao's trophy to cover up their miserable domestic campaign, which did not worsen until the weekend. They have won 36 losses together in the Premier League, with Manchester United currently ranked 16th and Spurs ranked 17th.

Van de Ven played a crucial role in the Spurs’ finals, playing a crucial role in addition to one of their knockout fixtures after recovering from a hamstring injury in March.
