Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic didn't hold back his emotions after the Tigers secured a dramatic Championship play-off spot, declaring the mission "complete" in unforgettable fashion.

In a heart-stopping finale at the MKM Stadium, Hull came from behind to defeat Norwich City 2-1, with striker Oli McBurnie stealing the spotlight with a brilliant brace. The victory was enough to clinch sixth place in the standings, sending the home faithful into a frenzy.

Jakirovic, serving a touchline ban and watching from the stands, was visibly moved as he spoke to BBC Radio Humberside. "It's a great feeling, especially after 90 or 96 minutes," he said. "We saw Wrexham didn't beat Middlesbrough, and it was enough to win 2-1."

The manager's words carried the weight of a season-long journey. "It is emotional for us because we have achieved something our chairman has dreamt about," Jakirovic added. "For the lads as well, I'm very proud of them because they have shown a great mentality."

Reflecting on the pressure-cooker atmosphere, Jakirovic noted how quickly fortunes can change in football. "It was not easy to play this game as we needed a win—after 10 or 15 minutes we were eighth in the table. But OK, this is football, everything is possible, and we gave everything to win this game. Mission complete!"

For fans who have followed Hull's rollercoaster season, this triumph is a testament to resilience. Whether you're celebrating in the stands or gearing up for the play-offs in your Tigers gear, this is a moment to savor—a reminder that in football, as in life, chasing your dreams is always worth the risk.
