Tens of thousands of football fans have descended on Bilbao ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United.

Hundreds of Brits were seen partying in the streets of the Basque city on Tuesday night.

In one clip shared on X, traffic lights can be seen smashed to bits on the ground, after one reveller was filmed climbing them to lead a chant.

He suddenly – and lightheartedly – had half finished beers in plastic cups thrown at him, while rival fans jeered.
