Heung-min Son set to create Asian history by winning the Champions League final?

As Tottenham prepare to challenge for their first ever Champions League title, talisman Heung-Min Son too has a shot at etching his name in the history books.

The South Korean could become the first Asian player to feature in and win a Champions League final, should he play a part in Spurs’ potential win over Liverpool.

A decade ago, fellow countryman Park Ji-sung became the first Asian player to win the Champions League. Although he was awarded with the medal, he did not play any part in Manchester United’s win over Chelsea in the 2008 final.
