Tottenham Hotspur are through to the Europa League final after making light work of Bodo/Glimt in their semi-final second leg on Thursday night.

Spurs ran out 3-1 winners in the first leg and, despite Bodo/Glimt’s players warning of a tougher match on their own patch, Tottenham won 2-0 for a 5-1 aggregate win.

Tottenham contained Bodo/Glimt well before Dominic Solanke settled the visitors’ nerves by poking home in the 63rd minute.

Pedro Porro then scored with a superb cross-shot effort six minutes later to make sure of Spurs’ victory in the tie and a spot in the final in Bilbao.

Tottenham legend Graham Roberts name-checked one Tottenham player as he delivered a message for the Spurs squad in wake of their victory.

Graham Roberts praises Cristian Romero as he calls for Tottenham to ‘make some history again’

Roberts took to X after the game to describe Tottenham’s performance as “absolutely incredible”.

He then praised the whole defence, name-checking Cristian Romero for his dominant performance but also praising the two full-backs.

Roberts, who won the UEFA Cup with Spurs in 1983-84, then called on Tottenham to “make some history again”.

How Cristian Romero fared for Tottenham against Bodo/Glimt

Romero provided one crucial contribution at the attacking end to help Spurs on their way to victory as he nodded the ball down for Solanke to score.

The Argentina international was also a colossus at the back, weighing in with five clearances, two tackles, one block and one interception.

He also won four duels and completed 26 of his 27 passes, on top of creating one big chance and seeing one effort of his own blocked.

Romero has been a crucial player for Tottenham since his £42million move from Atalanta back in 2021.

At times, Romero has been inconsistent, but when he’s at his best, he’s virtually unbeatable – and now he’s in with a chance of making history with Spurs.

Tottenham will take on Manchester United in the final, which takes place in Bilbao on Wednesday 21 May.

Man United boss Ruben Amorim has already given his verdict on what it’ll be like to face Spurs in the final.
