I cannot say, I'm not a big follower of domestic football. But going by the interviews after the game, they are proud that they've come this far and as said, they were hopeful but soon realized the difference in level and are full of praise. Both of our level but also how well prepared we were. I've never heard so much "World Class" said about Spurs in my lifetime!

We’re far from world class but today the mentality we showed was that

They have covered themselves with glory this season with their performances and behaviour, great ambassadors for their country.

Well done to team, manager, club (stuff with scarves was good touch)

Really professional performance over last 3 game in EL

Players put everything into it ..

A really solid, impressive performance, brilliant to see.
I've been belting out the Spurs songs on Spotify.

I remember Liverpool scrrrraaaaappppping their way past Alaves 5-4 and thinking "meh, that was shoddy" but guess what, they won the trophy.

Here's Ange:

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Can't remember much crap about his abilities per se (rather than a collective damnation of the defense), but there has been a lot of - qualified - questions about his composure.

I saw the wolves game only a few weeks ago

Those Spurs fans who travelled and were in the stadium, you made me proud! I was seated in the same stand, but on the opposite end, but I could hear the Spurs fans the entire game! Unfortunately I got the ticket very late, so just had to rush it after work and drive up there, and forgor to charge my phone, so was almost out of juice when I entered the stadium, so didn't want to risk it, as I had to use the phone to access the apartment I rented, so very few pictures. But the experience will be in my mind forever! What a great night! We totally shut them out! Never seen a team do it as well as we did! Ange need to get huge credit for that!
We're in a European final for the 2nd time in 6 years! Not many teams can say that!

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Two clean sheets away from home at fortresses
That’s no mean feat at any level

 

[Mcfee]

This is our 7th final under ENIC by my reckoning.

We must be reaching the point at which it’s statistically impossible to lose another one?

 

[SubZero]

Please can the Norwegians post any (English translated) interviews that big us up

I'm watching on live TV, and my old fingers aren't that quick! But it's mainly praise, except the cynical approach and time wasting, although they expected it and admit that they probably would've done the same. One repeated factor is our press marking and that they didn't get any time on the ball, which could have fooled me having watched Spurs this season.

Look up Mayo Gaelic Football Team. They're basically the Spurs of Irish sport.

We did a proper press today
But only the front 3 and Kulu
We didn’t do that last week so we were set up different

 

[Bedfordspurs]

The green kit is a charm
It was also my dads 79th birthday today
Had him and my bro around for dinner
fudging hard work as they are like a pair of deaf mutes but i think he enjoyed it all and I did cook a great pulled pork

It's weird, I didn't think our press was all that aggressive but they seemed to brick themselves a lot. The first goal came from a poor backpass and the keeper unable to keep it in. Our 8th corner and one too many for them.

 

[Bullet]

Seems we had a lot of fans in a different stand, presumably families and Spurs Royalty, judging by the second half of this video (and the sound)

On tv all you could hear was the Glimt fans. Sounded like they had one mike only and placed in front of the drum.

The press was more clever than intense. What we did was pretty much man marking their midfield. They were never allowed to recieve and turn with the ball. That's where Berg and Evjen are dangerous. They were never allowed to do that. Evjen was totally invisible the whole game! I've never seen that before! Usually he's on the ball, making things happen, but he was very cleverly completely taken out of the game. It was a brilliant tactical display today! Top notch preparation, and Ange needs to get credit for that, and the players too, for executing it perfectly!

If anyone can make it statistically possible it be us..
PLS PLS PLS LETS SEE ONE OF THESW THRU

 

[Lilbaz]

Lots of people would find it funny if Spurs lose a final. But that is overshadowed by how much people really dislike Man Utd. There's generations of childhood trauma embedded in those who grew up surrounded by Utd supporting mates all over the UK and having to watch them pearooster around.

Ahhh poor you. The kids st school who were too weak to support their local tem supported man utd and made you feel inferior.

Ffs. Grow a backbone.

Oh what a night! fudging brilliant. Great tactical setup by Ange, and I just fudging loved how we kept on working on for the entire 93 to keep a clean sheet. It obviously meant a lot to the players to shut them out. Loved that. Brilliant. Bring on Yanited. Bilbao. Yeeeeees! Get in!
