Tottenham Players Left Without Medals After Europa League Win

UEFA has apologised for running out of medals for winners during the Europa League final trophy ceremony on Wednesday, after more Tottenham Hotspur players than expected lined up to receive their individual awards, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

Spurs captain Son Heung-min and two other players, the last to be shortlisted for individual medals, were left empty-handed after their team beat Manchester United 1-0 to win the club's fourth European title on Wednesday.

"We did not have enough medals available on stage during the trophy presentation ceremony due to an unexpected discrepancy in the number of players," UEFA said in an apology.

More team members - including injured players - attended the ceremony than originally anticipated.

"The missing medals were immediately handed over to the winning team in the dressing room, along with our sincerest apologies for this lack of attention," UEFA wrote.
