“We knew it was going to be very difficult and Bodø/Glimt started well. We knew we had to be disciplined.”
He also highlighted the importance of the club’s supporters, stating, “The fans are phenomenal – the game at home was the same.
“Hopefully, the fans can make it to Bilbao and we’ll have another special day.”
Solanke’s performance has been instrumental in Tottenham’s European campaign, and he remains focused on the upcoming final.
“There’s one more game to go, and hopefully we can do it,” he said.
The Europa League final is scheduled to take place in Bilbao, where Tottenham will aim to secure the trophy against Man United and cap off their European journey with a victory.
