Europa League final: Tottenham fan celebrates wildly
Fans of the English club have been more than patient, although Spurs' dismal performance in the English Premier League this season has not inspired confidence.
It would make sense why a Nigerian lady, @stella_chinwe, witnessed a close friend and die-hard fan in an emotional state during and after the UEL final on May 21.
"She can now argue with me about trophys 🏆 …. 17years curse broken ❤️ She waited her whole life for this moment and the reaction says it all! @surprise_fountain," the lady wrote on TikTok.
The highlight of her video was when her friend, rocking the club's jersey, rolled on the floor while clutching a dog.
She later got up and did the signature goal celebration of Man United's Joshua Zirkzee while facing the television.

For Spurs, the Europa League trophy is vindication for manager Ange Postecoglou, who infamously commented that he won trophies in his second season, per Nine.
For Man United, it's another disappointing result for a team struggling to find their footing on any level, with manager Ruben Amorim being backed despite rising pressure.
