In terms of Tottenham, we all know about the trophy drought.

2008 was the last time they lifted a trophy. They want this so badly. The fans want this so badly and the major issue is Ange Postecoglou's future.

Whether tonight's outcome has a baring on Postecoglou's future remains to be seen.

I think the direction of travel is that he will probably leave the club regardless of the result.

The euphoria of victory could change things. That's the jeopardy that we have got here.

And if Postecoglou does leave Tottenham this summer with that European trophy in his belt, that would help him get another top job in European football.

A thing of beauty to mark a grand occasion?

Or everything that's wrong about modern football?

Hit the thumbs.

Manchester United need this trophy win tonight to ensure they have financial stability going into the summer.

They have a lot of big plans. They want to sign a lot of players, attacking players who are expensive to obtain.

Getting into the Champions League next season would certainly help that and give them that financial firepower to go and execute the deals that they want to execute.

The big question - who will lift the trophy in Bilbao?

We have a poll at the top of this page.

Or for a snapshot - hit the thumbs. Up for Spurs, down for United (no offence, we had to divide it somehow!)

Nine hours before kick-off...and the beers are flowing.

Sunshine in Bilbao but who will be celebrating later?

Amad Diallo for Manchester United is really interesting where he can play.

Can he start?

Alejandro Garnacho has been under pressure. I have been vocal about the situation at the top of the pitch with Rasmus Hojlund bringing enough into play to affect the game.

The squad is looking healthier for United whereas Spurs are still hurting.

I feel like the flexibility of Dejan Kulusevski, he can go wide and support a striker.

He’s been incredible this season. I’ve been impressed, and he is the one who has stood out and stepped up.

Injuries are a key part, but it’s a sad moment when the club get to the final when you’ve done so much for them, and you can't make it.

We want to see goals, we want to see drama and we have seen that on their journey to the final for both teams.

It's a brilliant game of football for both teams.

Ange saying about this trophy delivery. Ruben Amorim going into United and he needs to improve on results.

It will give Tottenham confidence and belief knowing how to get around Man Utd.

It is some record for Spurs against Man Utd. Psychologically it's better for Spurs that the record is there.

There’s a serenity here in Bilbao this morning but you can feel the anticipation building. Lots of supporters milling about having breakfast - you’d imagine breakfast will turn into beers soon (if they haven’t already!).

If you are just joining us, we have been taking a long run-up to tonight's Europa League final between Tottenham and Manchester United in Bilbao.

Here is a snapshot of the build-up content you have missed:

• Sir Jim Ratcliffe to be in Bilbao
• 'Ange blows his top' - newspaper round-up on Tottenham boss' pre-match news conference
• Former Spurs stopper Paul Robinson on the 'subplots' surrounding the final
• Images of Manchester United fans in the city, while Spurs supporters also out in force

Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes - those are the two true leaders of the team.

Fernandes is the one player who can take some pride from personal performances this year.

He's been trying his best and it has been difficult for him. His brain works on a different freqeuncy than most players and not a lot of players have been on that wavelength with him.

Andros Townsend
Former Tottenham midfielder on the Football Daily podcast

It's unacceptable to lose 14 games [in the Premier League] as a United manager, but it's going to take time when you're looking at the wholesale changes that United need.

Up to 80,000 Tottenham and Manchester United fans - many without a match ticket - are expected in Bilbao for the Europa League final.

Spurs have not won a major trophy for 17 years although this is their second European final in six years.

In 2019, Mauricio Pochettino's side lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the Champions League final in Madrid.

Will there be a different outcome for Spurs in another all-English final in Spain later?
