There are differences in methods. First, when they competed in each other’s last game before the final in 45 minutes on Friday, their respective managers chose very different strategies.

Postecoglou's team at Aston Villa was completely different, and defeated Bodo/Glimt in the second leg of the semifinals. He took main centre-backs Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero completely off the squad.

"I don't understand why they are plagued by fear, and both managers want to get to the Cup final with motivation," said former Celtics forward Chris Sutton.

"It's just choice fear, and Postecoglou won't play Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven-but will they be undercooked?"

Amorim became strong. Even after returning to Diogo Dalot training, Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro also made speculations around forward Rasmus Hojlund on Tuesday, much like the team that will start the finals.

"I don't know the background of Tottenham Hotspur. What I know is the last game against Bilba O, we had that game, and then we took some players because we were afraid of getting hurt."

“Then we had a whole week to prepare for the game, and I felt that the best thing to prepare for the finals for five days is to give the players time – the best way to prepare for something is to play.”

Tottenham held a team barbecue on the weekend's hot-speed training ground, which Postecoglou said was player-driven, and then arrived in Bilbao on Monday afternoon to live in a hotel in the city center.

“It’s very important to talk about life together.” “It feels like we’re getting closer.”

"This combined experience is very important," added right back Pedro Porro. "The team is like our family. It's better to talk about life with our teammates, too."

United arrived a day later and chose to stay away from the stadium - only three miles, so it wasn't a long journey.

Manchester United also decided not to participate in the final training at the stadium. Today, most clubs do not train in the pre-European Olympics.

This is a double benefit. First, it is much easier to keep your own training ground and stop the opposition from surveillance on them. Second, familiar and easy-to-use devices (such as drones), which are now an important part of team preparation.

At the final meeting at St. Mams Stadium, the Tottenhams are likely not to do anything worth noting. But this will allow them to gain an iconic foundation.

Manchester United will turn to a walk. To be fair, it's only three weeks since they beat the athletic club 3-0 in the first leg of the semifinals, so the need to get used to the surroundings is not the same.

"As players, we just consider everything ahead of us, and everything ahead of us is a chance to get a trophy," explains United Captain Bruno Fernandes.
