Who is the beautiful woman who performed the 'biting' ceremony with Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham)?
Tottenham won the UEFA Europa League final for the 2024-2025 season, defeating Manchester United 1-0 at Estadio San Mamés in Bilbao, Spain, on the 22nd (Korean time).
Tottenham lifted the trophy for the first time in 17 years since the League Cup in 2008. Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in 2015, broke his 10-year title drought. This is his first professional victory, including Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
Once the championship was confirmed, Son Heung-min wrapped himself in the Taegukgi and celebrated. As the captain, Son Heung-min was the first to lift the trophy and celebrated with his Tottenham teammates. This was the brightest moment in Son Heung-min's football career.
After the match, Son Heung-min said, "I feel really great right now. Tottenham hadn’t lifted a trophy in 17 years. It took a long time, and today is that day. I think I can now call myself a legend of this club. Just today! I want to enjoy this moment," while shedding tears.
However, there was an oversight. When captain Son Heung-min received the championship trophy, he did not have the winners' medal around his neck. Coach Ange Postecoglou and the substitute players received medals, but the captain did not.
In addition to Son Heung-min, Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero also celebrated the victory without medals. It turned out that UEFA made a mistake by preparing only 50 medals. The injured Tottenham players received medals first, leaving too few for captain Son Heung-min.
UEFA explained, "More players than expected attended the ceremony, resulting in some players not receiving medals. We are very sorry about that. We delivered the insufficient medals in the locker room."
In fact, it has been confirmed that Son Heung-min received his medal in the locker room. A photo of Son Heung-min performing a ceremony biting the medal with a beautiful blonde woman was posted on social media.
The woman in question is Hannah South, who manages Tottenham's social media. She posted a photo on her social media of herself with Son Heung-min with their heads together biting the medal. South also took and posted similar concept photos with other players, including James Maddison.
