John Terry aims sly Tottenham dig after Europa League triumph

Tue 27 May 2025 22:30, UK

Tottenham may have thought that ending their 17-year trophy drought would end the constant stream of ridicule aimed at them.

By defeating Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao, Ange Postecoglou led Spurs to the Europa League title, lifting a trophy in his second season.

Reaction has been rife, with players, pundits, and managers all chiming in on the achievement.

Now, ex-Chelsea captain John Terry has weighed in on Tottenham’s success with a typical jibe.

Terry responds to Spurs trophy win

Tottenham have finally shaken off the ‘Spursy’ title by winning the Europa League in a final lacking in quality.

A fortunate Brennan Johnson goal was enough to secure victory, with Luke Shaw providing a helping hand in the build-up.

John Terry is a man accustomed to winning trophies and lifted the Premier League trophy five times when at Chelsea.

Terry has a wealth of titles to his name

He has never been one to shy away from digging Spurs, considering the rivalry between the two London clubs.

Indeed, he has aimed a firm jab at his former rivals by commenting on the North London club’s Europa League triumph.

The former centre-back was speaking live on talkSPORT (27 May, 06.20 pm) after winning the James Maddison Invitational golf tournament.

He said: “It’s only been a week and I’ve won more trophies than Spurs.”

Terry could not hold back his laughter, but Spurs fans would be right to remind Terry of what happened in the 2008 League Cup final.

The Lilywhites’ dire Premier League form has threatened to overshadow Spurs’ trophy win, although fans would argue otherwise.

Not only have Tottenham won a title, but they will also be a Champions League outfit next season thanks to the Australian.

However, does the former Celtic boss have what it takes to turn the tide in the capital?

Daniel Levy has the summer to mull that over, and his future is a coin toss right now.
