Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou finally have a European trophy to shout about — and Mohamed Salah wasn’t about to let the moment pass quietly.
After Spurs edged past Manchester United in the Europa League final, Liverpool’s star forward jumped on social media with a cheeky nod to Ange Postecoglou’s pre-season prediction.
It wasn’t just a congratulations — it was classic Salah, full of wit and timing.
The Egyptian posted on X: “He did say he’d win in his second season. Congratulations!” — referencing a comment Postecoglou made earlier in the year when he boldly claimed he “always wins a trophy in his second season” wherever he goes.
It was a jab with a grin — and one that didn’t go unnoticed.

What Postecoglou replied to Mohamed Salah?
When asked about Salah’s message, Postecoglou didn’t miss a beat. With a smile, he replied: “Who am I to go against what the best player in the world says?”
The Aussie coach has made a habit of delivering silverware in season two, from South Melbourne to Celtic, and now Tottenham.
Even in a league campaign that’s left Spurs fans with mixed feelings, this trophy will go a long way in healing the wounds — and maybe even keeping a few Twitter fingers quiet for now.
Brennan Johnson’s goal just before halftime was enough to see off United in a tight final. It may not have been a classic, but history won’t remember the details — only the silver in the cabinet.
As for Salah, with a Premier League title and the FWA Player of the Year in the bag, he’s still chasing records and finding time to celebrate rivals’ stumbles.
Football, after all, isn’t just about goals — it’s about moments. And this was one for the timeline.
