North London was the scene of pure euphoria on Friday as thousands of Tottenham Hotspur fans took to the streets in a stunning show of pride and passion. The occasion? Spurs’ long-awaited Europa League triumph—ending a 41- year European drought and securing their first trophy since 2008.
A carnival atmosphere engulfed the route as an open-top bus carried the triumphant squad from Edmonton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Flags waved, white flares lit up the sky, and chants echoed from building to building. It was more than a parade—it was a party that Spurs fans had waited decades to throw.
At the heart of it all was captain Son Heung-Min, hoisting the Europa League trophy high with a grin that said it all. He led the charge with pure emotion, declaring himself a “club legend” in a moment of joy on the bus. “The two days have gone so fast, with a lot of joy and happiness. It was incredible,” he said.
Fans serenaded the team with passionate renditions of “Oh when the Spurs go marching in” and the now iconic “Johnson again, ole, ole”—a tribute to Brennan Johnson, whose solitary goal in Wednesday’s final sealed a gritty 1-0 win over Manchester United in Bilbao.
That goal may have come in a drab match at San Mames Stadium, but it unleashed a tidal wave of emotion from Spain to the streets of Tottenham. Manager Ange Postecoglou, in his debut season, delivered what many thought impossible: a trophy and a revived spirit.
As the bus rolled into the stadium, surrounded by a sea of elated fans, it was clear—Spurs weren’t just celebrating a win. They were celebrating belief, resilience, and a future reignited. North London was white, and for once, it wasn’t just about hope—it was about history.
