The Spurs have shattered the myth of being a losing team by triumphing in the Europa League: a title had been missing from the English club's trophy cabinet for 17 years.
The San Mamés in Bilbao is overwhelmed with celebrations of the title, a European triumph that the Londoners had not experienced since 1984, when they won the UEFA Cup.
A title even sweeter as it redeems an extremely negative season, which saw Tottenham finish 17th.
For Son, it is the first trophy of his career: the Korean managed to lift a cup in the same season in which his former teammate Harry Kane also won his first title, the Bundesliga shield with Bayern Munich.
In the joy of the celebrations, Vicario, the author of the save that decided the match in the 96th minute, spoke to Sky Sport: "A magical night, a historic night for this club, probably many when I chose this club two years ago would have thought we were heading for yet another failure, but we have written the history of this club, of this competition".
Vicario continued: "We did it, we suffered a lot, it was a tough match, it was a very tough journey, then the joy of football is especially this, when you manage to make so many people happy".
Destiny Udogie joined him, praising his teammate for the decisive save: "He's a phenomenon, he's a phenomenon!".
Dejan Kulusevski, interviewed despite being absent due to injury, spoke to Sky Sports on crutches: "It's beautiful to win such an important tournament, a title that had been missing from this club for many years, the best possible end to the season. I didn't care about not playing it, the important thing is to bring it home. Sometimes I leave everything to God and he does the rest: I am grateful to win this title and no one can take this away from you."
On Vicario's save: "Everyone was great, Vicario gives confidence. It's exciting to give this joy to the people, that's why we work every day."
