He was among the injured players who made the trip over to Bilbao with the squad, alongside James Maddison. Werner’s last appearance came back in February in an eight minute cameo against Manchester City in the Premier League.
He played five times in the group stage of the Europa League campaign. But was left out of the UEFA squad for the knockout stages of the competition due to his injury.
Werner picked up a medal before the trophy lift. When back in the changing room, he shared a picture of himself with the medal on his Instagram account, along with two other pictures of him celebrating with Micky van de Ven and Son Heung-min.
In the caption he wrote: “What a team!! [three trophy emojis] Like I said, I came to win titles, Thank you and good night!!”
The German is likely referring to the claim he made when he first joined the club on loan from Red Bull Leipzig in January last year. Speaking at the time to Tottenham’s official website he said: "I've joined a very, very big club.
"We have often played against each other already — it doesn't matter if I was playing for Chelsea or Leipzig, they were always big, big games to play against Spurs. I'm happy to be part of the team and I'm really looking forward to it.
"The manager straight away gave me the feeling that I needed to join and the way the team plays fits me perfectly. After I left the Premier League I missed it because it is the best league in the world.
"When I joined my old club, I said I wanted to be a winner. In the end, we won the Champions League, so it should not be too bad to say I come here to win titles."
The Europa League win has now meant that Werner has met his aim. Although his future at Spurs is uncertain with the 29-year-old due to return to parent club RB Leipzig at the end of his loan deal, although Spurs do have a £8.5 million option to make the move permanent.
