Today, Tottenham edged out Manchester United with a narrow 1-0 victory in the Europa League final, but the awards ceremony was marked by a massive blunder from the organizers.

Details: The issue was that UEFA failed to calculate the required number of medals in the event of a Tottenham win.

This resulted in not all of the Spurs players receiving their medals. Among those left empty-handed were key team leaders such as Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Cristian Romero, and captain Son Heung-min.

Apparently, the reason for this oversight is that throughout the Europa League campaign, Tottenham had to call up a lot of young players, including fourth-choice goalkeeper Brandon Austin.

Obviously, UEFA will send the medals to the players after the match.

Reminder: This trophy is Tottenham's first in 6,296 days.
