Penny for the thoughts of Sir Alex Ferguson, sitting in the San Mames stands.
Can the legendary shot really understand how low his team, the once great Manchester United that he had regularly dinner at the top table of world football, have sunk.
They never seemed further from the glory days of his term of office, which are increasingly becoming a distant memory.
The TV cameras won a poor young boy last night, who was no older than ten while holding his eyes while his Red Devils blew it in Bilbao.
He certainly wouldn't even live when Ferguson mentioned time on his glorious, trophy loaded 26-year career at Old Trafford in 2013.
Now that United, after a predictably poor performance in the Basque region on a Spurs side that is 17th in the Premier League table, they are confronted with their first campaign without European football in a decade.
How did this come about?
The hated glazers, who have chaired the grace this fall, will rightly receive the majority of the debt for their shameful maladministration.
But there is much more to share.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who looks here next to Sir Alex and the majority of Sir Alex and the majority of United, will be the following to start the air shedding.
The former richest man of Great Britain would bring the Red Devils back from the depths of despair.
But instead, under his reign, they have further down, in the background of the inappropriate cost -saving in the club under his watch.
Ratcliffe was the one who will give Erik Tien the decision to hand over a new contract last summer after the Shock FA Cup Triumph over Manchester City.
He seemed to go against his original boost to fire the Dutchman, but still did it, only months later.
Sports director Dan Ashworth, the man they waited for five months to praise a cautious Newcastle, went soon after.
The involvement of Ratcliffe in Sport has long been existing thanks to the interests of his company in bicycles and Formula 1, but his trip to English football is relatively recent.
The U-turn on Ten Hag and Ashworth hit naivety and undermine the confidence of supporters in his decision-making.
While the enormous compensation account that was collected by those outputs has made the Doge-like fat-trimming policy Ratcliffe at United for everyday staff more difficult to swallow.
A huge 250 jobs were agreed last year with another 150-200 planned this year because the club focuses on a return to “profitability after five consecutive losses since 2019”.
Ratcliffe has reduced the budget of the former players' association of United and even taught the legendary boss Fergie as an ambassador.
You wonder what United will do with their team of current players after this disaster of a campaign.
Enough will be shown the door, or at least United will try to lead them out.
Keep questioning whether Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkee and Andre Onana are in the task.
But whether buyers can be found, United must want to sell them, still to be seen.
There is still the thorny song from Marcus Rashford and his wages of £ 300,000 a week that return from a loan in Aston Villa.
Money will be available – movements for Matheus Cunha van Wolves and Ipswich's Liam Delap for a combined £ 90 million was not supposed to be dependent on a return to the Champions League via a Europa League triumph.
But the club will still miss £ 100 million and so every form of overhaul may not be as extensive as desired.
Domestic players such as Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho may be more likely that they are now being sold because of the benefits of scouring home -grown players because of the related PSR rules.
Captain Bruno Fernandes said the day before the final that players always want to play for Manchester United.
That daring claim will now be fully tested on the test.
And what about Baas Ruben Amorim, who joked with Bruno in his pre-final press conference when he was asked why he was not under the same pressure as a counterpart Ange Postecoglou?
It seems likely that the Portuguese will remain because Ratcliffe and Co. Certainly not give him up.
On the other hand, he had a catastrophic time since he took over from Ten Hag, who went 4-1 in the Champions League of Manchester City from Pep Guardiola, with Sporting Lisbon to the last competition of United who came more than two months ago.
Some fans can feel that Ratcliffe makes the same mistake that he has done by staying at Ten Hag last summer by being Amorim, whose Puritan believe in his 3-4-3 system has not shown any signs of works.
In summary, it is a complete mess.
It is hardly credible that this is the same club that used to dominate English football, spent season in and season.
The one who pulled out the Treble in 1999 and won another Champions League in 2008 with Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez in front and Fergie in the Dugout.
For a few poor young fans, those performance is not even memories – only videos of former glory from an era long ago.
