 “It’s going to upset a lot of people, isn’t it!” Postecoglou remarked, addressing the skepticism surrounding Spurs’ European campaign. 

Postecoglou highlighted the team’s resilience and adaptability, particularly in their semi-final victory over Bodo/Glimt. He praised his players for their performance in difficult conditions, stating, “The players were outstanding. They were well-prepared tonight, the staff did a great job of making sure the boys were really clear about what we needed to do.” 

Looking ahead to the final against Manchester United, Postecoglou emphasized the importance of the match for the club and its supporters. “We’ve given them some real hope and something to dream about, that we can do something special this year,” he said. 

Despite injury concerns and a demanding schedule, Postecoglou remains focused on preparing his team for the final, aiming to secure Tottenham’s first major trophy since 2008.
