Tottenham’s stars partied late into the night in Bilbao as they celebrated their Europa League final victory on Wednesday.
Ange Postecoglou’s side ended the club’s 17-year wait for a major trophy after beating Manchester United 1-0 following a first-half strike from Brennan Johnson.
In addition to winning their first European trophy since 1984, Tottenham will now compete in next season’s Champions League after a disastrous Premier League campaign that sees them sit in 17th place heading into the final domestic weekend.
However, their league form will have been cast to the back of the players’ minds as they partied late into the night – with plenty of videos emerging on social media.
Midfielder Yves Bissouma went on Instagram Live and offered a glimpse into the dressing room as the Tottenham players celebrated the occasion.
His clips showed the Spurs stars in the changing rooms as they blared out music from speakers, tucked into pizza and popped champagne.

Meanwhile, Spurs’ official account shared a video which showed the festivities as Son Heung-Min re-enacted the trophy lift inside the changing room.
The South Korean was sprayed with champagne by his team-mates as they reveled in the occasion.
Spurs captain Son was later seen outside the team’s hotel in Bilbao rallying the travelling fans who had followed them back to offer their support.
The forward, with his winners medal draped over his shoulders, cupped his ears to the supporters and waved them on as they cheered the team’s return.
While videos from Spurs’ official accounts ended there, a number of the players showed off the late night celebrations via their own personal accounts.
On Destiny Udogie’s story, posted around 2am, Spurs’ stars could be seen inside a hall – likely at their hotel – as their partied the night away in their full-kit.
Kevin Danso and Timo Werner could be seen particularly enjoying the festivities as the squad, along with their family and friends, rejoiced in the moment.
In another video that emerged on social media at 3am, a large number of the Spurs players – including James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Brennan Johnson – were all still enjoying the night. The caption read: ‘Party still going’.

On Thursday morning, Spurs’ official account began the day by sharing another video from the celebrations the night prior – showing gold confetti being let off in the changing room.
Full-back Djed Spence could be seen carrying the trophy before striking a pose alongside it – while Bissouma and Wilson Odobert danced amongst the confetti.
Spurs’ stars also filmed a hilarious video that made reference to the fact they will play in the Champions League next season, after clinching the Europa League title.
A number of Spurs stars lined up – similarly to a pre-match set-up – as the Champions League music played in the background.
Back in north London, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rocked with scenes of joy and jubilation as thousands of fans celebrated the win from their home ground.
As as sea of white shirts descended on to the pitch in north London, several fans broke down in tears of joy while others wildly threw beer and items of clothing into the air.
Meanwhile Spurs boss Postecoglou, who after Tottenham’s poor start in the Premier League defiantly urged that he always wins trophies during his second season, admitted that he understands how much it means to the fans to win a major honour.

‘I am still trying to take it all in. I know what it means to the club and the longer it goes it is harder to break the cycle, I could sense nervousness at the club because they have been in the situation before,’ he told TNT Sports after the game.
‘We have a really young group but I hope them tasting this, it feeds into itself and they will feel differently about themselves.
‘I have always felt that knockout football is different from the league. We knew in the situation it came down to organisation and moments – if you can minimise the moments they have, with (Cristian) Romero and Van de Ven etc.
‘We felt we would be hard to break down. We could have been better in transition but I felt comfortable that if we went ahead we would negotiate it.’
