Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League final and, as a result, will play in next season's Champions League, already making history in the tournament.
Details: The key point is that Tottenham finished 17th in the national league standings this season.
This means Spurs will be the team to play in the Champions League after finishing in the lowest league position ever recorded by a participant in the tournament's history. Until now, no club had ever qualified for Europe's premier club competition after ending their domestic campaign so far down the table.
By the way, this is Tottenham's first European trophy since the 1983/84 season, when they won the UEFA Cup. It's also the club's first title since 2008. In total, Spurs' trophy drought lasted 6,296 days.
Reminder: Manchester United came close to equalising during the match, but Ange Postecoglou's side were miraculously saved by centre-back Micky van de Ven, who pulled off an incredible goal-line clearance in the Europa League final.
