“Even In my next life, I will still make the same choice”- ‘Joining Tottenham was the best decision I ever made’ – Spurs midfielder gets emotional
James Maddison has spoken openly about his growing affection for Tottenham Hotspur in the wake of the club’s dramatic 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final. The heartfelt comments came during Spurs’ jubilant trophy parade through the streets of North London, a celebration that has united fans, players, and staff alike.
Tottenham’s hard-fought win at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao marked a historic achievement for the club, who now hold four European titles in their storied history. The victory over United also ended a long and painful wait for silverware, with Spurs last lifting a trophy back in 2008 when they defeated Chelsea in the League Cup final. Since then, years of near-misses and heartbreaks have only added to the hunger for success among the fanbase.
North London has been in a state of euphoria since the final whistle on Wednesday night. The party atmosphere reached its peak on Friday with an open-top bus parade that wound its way through Tottenham, giving thousands of supporters the chance to celebrate shoulder-to-shoulder with their heroes. Songs were sung, flags were waved, and emotions ran high as the club proudly displayed their newest piece of silverware.
Maddison’s Candid Love Letter to Spurs
Amid the celebrations, James Maddison delivered an emotional statement that captured the spirit of the occasion. Having joined the club from Leicester City in the summer of 2023, the England international has quickly become a fan favourite and a key figure in the dressing room. Despite missing out on playing in the final due to a minor injury, Maddison’s influence throughout the season was undeniable. The midfielder contributed an impressive 12 goals and 10 assists across all competitions, playing a pivotal role in Tottenham’s journey to European glory.
“I love this club. The best decision I ever made was joining Tottenham Hotspur,” Maddison said in a message shared by the club’s official X (formerly Twitter) account. His words resonated deeply with the supporters, many of whom have embraced him not only for his skill on the pitch but for his passion and personality off it.
A Taste of European Glory—and a Hunger for More
This latest triumph marks the third trophy of Maddison’s career, adding to the FA Cup and Community Shield he won while at Leicester. However, the Europa League win stands out as his first major European honour—an achievement that elevates his profile and cements his legacy at the club.
Looking ahead, Maddison and his teammates won’t have to wait long for another opportunity to chase silverware. On August 13th, Spurs will take on the winners of the UEFA Champions League in the Super Cup, set to be played in Udine, Italy. The match will serve as both a celebration of Tottenham’s European success and a chance to add yet another trophy to their growing cabinet.
As Maddison sets his sights on future glory, he does so with the backing of a fanbase that now sees him as one of their own. His love for Tottenham isn’t just words—it’s a bond forged in goals, assists, and now, unforgettable European triumph.
