Gary Lineker has made a joke about Tottenham Hotspur on Twitter after hearing the news on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What’s the story?

Tottenham have announced on their official website that Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been named among the winners of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) National Awards 2021.

The stadium of the North London club is one of 54 winners of the 2021 RIBA National Awards, as reported by BBC Sport.

Gary Lineker jokes

Former Tottenham striker and Match of the Day presenter Lineker has joked about the news.

The Englishman has joked that Spurs have now finally won a trophy.

Tottenham last won a major trophy in 2007-08 when they clinched the Football League Cup.

Winning on the pitch

Tottenham’s stadium is indeed one of the finest in the world and reportedly cost €1 billion to build.

The stadium is the biggest club ground in London and is a marvel to behold.

Spurs now need to get positive results on the pitch, win trophies and regularly play in the Champions League.

Tottenham have started the season strongly, winning all three of their Premier League games.

Spurs are unlikely to win the Premier League title this season, but the North London club are certainly major contenders for the top four.
