Lead-heavy. A final that summed up the season. Title and Champions League ticket were on the prize table, Tottenham football fought their way to the benefits. In his post-match interviews, Ruben Amorim said he will retire on the day if the board and supporters want it, Alejandro Garnacho was clearly annoyed to play only the last part of the game and will spend the summer “thinking about what he’s doing”, while captain Bruno Fernandes gave a crystal clear answer about the future.
With Real Madrid chasing the United captain, questions have been raised about how long Fernandes will stay at Old Trafford. The Portuguese extended last summer when he was convinced of Ratcliffe’s plan and management, but what now after a final loss, bottom place in the Premier League and no European games next season?

It’s a real captain talking.
-I have always said that I want to stay here until the club tells me that it is time to leave. I am eager to do more, to be able to bring the club back to greatness. The day the club thinks I’m too much or it’s time to part ways, football is like that, you never know. But I have always said it, and I keep my word in the same way. If the club thinks it’s time to part ways because they want to make some money or whatever, that’s the way it is, and football is sometimes like that,” Fernandes said, according to Goal.
