James Maddison is still revelling in Tottenham’s Europa League triumph, almost a week on from the magical night in Bilbao.

While the England international did not play a part in the 1-0 win over Manchester United at San Mames, he more than contributed to the cup triumph in previous rounds.

Maddison has spent the week since then taking potshots at various people, including outspoken talkSPORT presenter Simon Jordan.

And Spurs fan favourite Maddison also took a swipe at John Terry as he was dressed in his full kit during Tottenham’s on-pitch trophy celebrations, much like the Chelsea legend famously did when not playing in the 2012 Champions League final.

Maddison and Terry talk in private after Chelsea and Tottenham jibes

The pair continued their back-and-forth on Instagram, with Terry pointing out how many trophies he has won in comparison to Maddison.

And speaking on Sky Sports News on Tuesday (27 May, 10:32am), Maddison shared what Terry has since told him in private.

As Terry butted in during Maddison’s interview, taking a swipe at the midfielder discussing Tottenham’s Champions League prospects, the Spurs player was asked if they had spoken since their social media messages.

Maddison replied: “Yeah. He’s a good lad. He congratulated me earlier.”

Maddison provides Tottenham injury update

Maddison also provided an injury update during the chat, reiterating his plans to be back during pre-season.

The 28-year-old sustained an injury towards the end of the 2024-25 campaign that ruled him out of the Europa League final.

There were fears Maddison could miss the start of next season for Tottenham, but that no longer looks like being the case.

Maddison now has the next month or so to rest up before getting to work on the training ground, with the aim of helping Tottenham build on their memorable Europa League glory.
