Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was one of many in the football world following Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League final meeting with Manchester United.
Spurs were triumphant as they beat Ruben Amorim’s side 1-0 in Bilbao to lift their first major trophy since 2008.
Brennan Johnson’s goal proved the difference between the two sides, the Wales international scoring just before the break to clinch victory for Tottenham.
Just after the game, Salah took to X to deliver his verdict on Spurs’ win, focusing on Ange Postecoglou in particular.
Mohamed Salah congratulates Tottenham and manager Ange Postecoglou
Mohamed Salah noted how Ange Postecoglou previously said he always delivered a trophy in his second season at a club, a pledge which came true.
“He did say he’d win in his second season,” said the Liverpool star. “Congratulations!”.
Postecoglou was ridiculed for his comments, with Paul Merson previously saying he had “more chance of winning Strictly” than the Spurs boss had of winning a trophy in his second season.
However, Postecoglou has silenced the doubters in the best possible way.
What Ange Postecoglou said about Mohamed Salah earlier this year
Earlier this year, Postecoglou said even Salah would find life a struggle at the moment in the Tottenham team he manages.
Spurs have had a dismal year on the domestic front, while Salah has been prolific this term as he helped Liverpool win the Premier League title.
“Mo is a world-class player,” the Spurs boss said, as per BBC Sport.
“But if you put him in our team now I’m not sure he’ll have that same level of performance because of the situation we’re in as a group.
“His attacking play, who do you need?
“You need a team that’s kind of in good form, creating opportunities, playing on the front foot, having a really solid foundation of a defence that is cohesive.
“None of these things exist at the moment.”
However, all’s well that ends well for Tottenham, who will be joining Liverpool in next season’s Champions League.
