Tottenham fans go wild as Spurs reach Champions League final with stunning comeback just 24 hours after Liverpool miracle
SPURS fans went wild tonight as Tottenham soared through to the Champions League final with a stunning comeback – just one day after Liverpool's spectacular win.
Fans spilled out into the streets of Amsterdam to celebrate hammering in three goals against Ajax to secure them a place in the all-English final.
Others danced in boozers in North London as they inched closer to ending their 11-year dry spell.
Photos show stunned supporters chucking beer in the air in packed pubs after Lucas Moura slammed the ball into the back of the net in the 95th minute.
His incredible hat-trick saw Spurs beat Ajax 3-3 on aggregate – coming back from 2-0 down at half-time.
They are the first team to come from two goals behind in a Champions League semi-final since Manchester United in 1999 against Juventus.
And it wasn't just fans going into a meltdown over the win – Tottenham legends also couldn't contain their excitement.
Glenn Hoddle, who made more than 400 appearances for the club over 12 seasons, jumped in the air and cheered alongside rio Ferdinand from the BT Sport punditry box.
The footballer, who had a heart attack on his 61st birthday seven months ago, was asked by Gary Lineker if he was "ok".
He replied: "Yeah, I’m fine. I’ve never been happier.
"I’m so glad that I’m still around to see this. I’ve been a Spurs fan since I was eight years of age, what a proud moment that was."
Lineker replied: "I’m so glad you’re here to enjoy it with us."
He later added on Twitter: "I love my job. What a delight and a privilege to have witnessed 2 of the greatest comebacks in the history of the beautiful game.
"Absolutely magical. Well played @SpursOfficial. Well played."
The excitement was echoed by manager Mauricio Pochettino, who broke down in tears when he realised the team was going through.
Speaking after the game, he said: "The emotion is amazing, thank you to football. My players are heroes – in the last year I was telling everyone this group are heroes.
"The second half they were amazing. Thank you football – this type of emotion without football is no possible. Thank you to everyone who has believed in us. To describe this in words is difficult."
