Unbelievable ! Never thought we would ever be in the CL final ! At least not in the way we did ! We always enjoy doing it the hard way, don't we ! In a traditional Spurs way, we made it difficult for ourselves by conceding 2 early goals to trail 0-3 on aggregate but then did well to make it 3-3 to win on away goals rules. Don't think we ever come back from being 0-3 down away to progress in any important Cup matches before ! Hope we will now go on to win the CL for the first time ever !
Credit to Moura for getting the hattrick ! Amazingly, Moura is the first ever Brazilian to score a hattrick in a CL semi final ! For once Moura scored like a true Brazilian ! Moura has scored some important goals for us this season but still wasted too many goal scoring chances. But fortunately for us, this time, the Brazilian in Moura decided to wake up just when we needed it most ! Thought Son would be our match winner but he had a poor game. Son was unlucky to hit the post early in the match but he really should have scored the one-on-one chance after that. Credit to Alli for assisting 2 goals for Moura, especially the perfect pass for our winning goal. Llorente helped to change the game for us after coming on. Llorente didn't really have a good match as he wasted a few chances but he caused panic in the Ajax defence. Lamela didn't have much time to make an impact after coming on but helped to improve our attack.
Our midfield started poorly but improved in the second half. Sissoko worked hard as usual to help our attack and defence. In fact, it was Sissoko's long cross that helped to set up our winning goal. Wanyama had a poor match and made too many mistakes. Really worried about Wanyama's performance as nothing went right for him. Crucially we played much better when we replaced Wanyama with Llorente in the second half.
Our defence conceded 2 poor goals. It was annoying to see us concede yet another early goal. Our defence looked nervy from the start. Fortunately for us, we defended much better in the second half. But we we did ride our luck a few times, especially when they hit the post. Lloris too kept us in the game with a few important saves. Vertonghen was unlucky when his header hit the post late in the match as well. It was worrying to see Vertonghen in protective boots after the match. Hope he will be fully fit for the Final.
It is great to be in our first ever CL final ! It was emotional the way we celebrated it after the match was over ! We need to do all we can to win it now ! Would have preferred to face Barcelona than Liverpool in the Final. Liverpool knows all about us and will be tougher than Barcelona. But hope will do our best to beat them and win the CL for the first time ever ! Watched the match with my 15yo and 12yo nephews and it was emotional the way they celebrated our winning goal like mad ! It will be even better if we can actually win the CL ! Hope we will now win our first trophy since 2008 by winning the CL ! Special mention about Ajax, their defeat proves that kids cannot win you trophies as they had too many young players. Also, Netherlands and their clubs will always be the biggest bottlers of world football.
