European football witnessed a moving moment last night. The North London powerhouse defeated the Premier League enemy in the UEFA Cup final. The scene of Asian football king Son Heung-min kneeling down to cover his face resonating with fans around the world. The 32-year-old forward leader was soaked in tears when he picked up his first club championship trophy in his career.

Since its entry into the Premier League with a net worth of 30 million euros in 2015, the Korean king has spent ten years to write a chapter of loyalty. He went on a battle 455 times in a white lily robe, contributing 174 key goals and 102 precise assists, transforming from a young star to a team soul leader. This championship not only ended the 3,580-day championship drought, but also broke the 17-year trophy curse for the club.

When the final whistle blew through the Wembley night sky, the scene of Son Heung-min and his father crying in the stands staring at each other from a distance became a classic memory in football. This heavy trophy is filled with sweat accumulated from 438 appearances, witnessing the transformation trajectory from fast horses on the wing to spiritual leaders. As he choked up in the mixed interview area: tears at this moment are the best answer to all setbacks.

Technical statistics show that Son Heung-min scored 67% of the team's goals throughout this Europa League, and even won the winning assist in the final. This silver cup not only engraves the new height of Asian football, but also confirms the precious value of perseverance and loyalty in modern football. The young man who chased the wind from the Hamburg youth training camp finally came to his own legend at the top of Britain.
