Good morning, football fans!
It’s here. Finally. Probably the biggest match any Australian coach has overseen, ever, anywhere. Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur against Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United in the Europa League final at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.
Kick-off is at 5am, and we’ll be here to bring you live updates throughout, and all the fallout from this momentous occasion.
I’m Vince Rugari and I have to say, I didn’t sleep well. How could I? This is simply gigantic, a night (or morning for us) which could be a legacy-defining one for Postecoglou and, by extension, Australian football. Spurs play in the Premier League one last time this weekend, so this won’t be his last game in charge – but will it be his second-last? I don’t know. Nobody really knows. Surely, if they win here, it won’t be.
I’m joined on the tools this morning by Penry Buckley, a long-time Spurs fan who is with his tribe at the Surry Hills Hotel, where the OzSpurs crew will be watching along – and he’ll chime in with regular updates from the pub and a bit of colour.
