UEFA Apologizes After Medal Mishap at Europa League Final
Imagine a big soccer game where one team wins a trophy!
After they win, they get medals.
But, after the Europa League final, there weren't enough medals for all the winning players.
The soccer organization, UEFA, was surprised because more players than they thought showed up to get medals.
The players who were last in line didn't get one during the ceremony, including the team captain.
UEFA quickly gave the missing medals to the team in their locker room and said sorry for the mistake.
It's like running out of treats at a party, but instead of treats, it's medals for winning!
UEFA ran out of winners' medals during the Europa League final ceremony.
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 1-0.
Son Heung-min and two other players did not receive medals on stage.
More Tottenham Hotspur players participated in the ceremony than anticipated.
UEFA apologized and delivered the missing medals to the team in the dressing room.
