Son Heung-min's parents witnessed Son's first trophy victory
Prior to the starting whistle, a camera spotted Son Heung-min's parents on camera getting ready to watch the match featuring their child as the captain. The old couple was spotted in the stands of San Mames. In the video, Son Heung Min's mother, Eun Ja Kil, was seen trying to fix her overcoat. She was assisted by her husband, Son Woong Jung. The couple then sat together and were visibly happy, as caught on the cameras.
Following the conclusion of the fixture, Son Heung-min was visibly emotional after laying his hands on his first professional trophy. In an emotional video, the South Korean striker can be seen emotionally hugging his mother and father after winning the Europa League.
Son's first trophy came after a series of heartbreaks he endured throughout his career. Son finished as runners-up in the UEFA Champions League in 2019 and the Carabao Cup in 2021. His national team also lost in the semifinals of the AFC Asian Cup 2022. Earlier, the South Korean star refused to accept himself as a Tottenham legend since he didn't bring any silverware to the club. Having led the club to its first European title since 1984, Son finally called himself a club legend.
"Let's say I'm a legend. Why not? Only today! Seventeen years, nobody has done it, so with such amazing players, yeah, today's the day. Probably today I will say I'm a legend of this club," Son said.
"I feel amazing. This is what I've always dreamed for and today is the day it happened. Dream came really, really true. I'm so so happy. I am the happiest man in the world," he added.
