It was supposed to be party time; 24 hours in a cultural and culinary paradise, taking the edge off an awful season. Instead we're left wondering what happens next... for the team, the players, even the manager.

Ange Postecoglu's Spurs are the Europa League champions, they will play Champions League football next season and represent the Premier League in the European Super Cup... Manchester United will have to come to terms with the sporting, commercial, and financial, realities of a 40-game diet of domestic football.

Although there is one more game, one we're now dreading against a very good Villa side, the loss in Bilbao feels like a line drawn under a dreadful season. It may yet lead to lines drawn under some tenures at the club.

You asked for it; here it is. We manifested a dramatic European night at Old Trafford and a monumental victory away from home against Athletic Club.

Now, as the team (and the fans) return to Bilbao for the Europa League final, we're going back through history to catalogue the eight previous showpiece games.

Featuring the most famous Champions League final of all time, bar none, here are the highs and occasional lows of Man United's history in Euro finals.

Here it is, then: the match that will define the season, even if it's impossible to save. It's the match that could well dictate the future of Ruben Amorim at United and the next chapter of the club's history.

If that makes you nervous, you're not alone.

The team's performance at Chelsea on Friday night has us worried about all sorts of things, from personnel to tactics, to Ange. Still, at least Spurs have just as many worries.

One thing we are absolutely definitely looking forward to is visiting the great city of Bilbao and there's nobody better to show us around than Basque geographer and historian, Andreu Mittxen.
