Tottenham Hotspur are in the Champions League final and we take on Liverpool who are just an incredible team. An all English final. Both clubs did the impossible to get there. What we've witnessed in the last 24 hours may never be repeated again. The drama has been unbelievable.

So one of Pochettino or Klopp - who both so often have their obvious progress maligned for not adding a trophy - will now win the biggest trophy in the game.

Whatever else Lucas Moura does in his career, whether that be at Spurs or beyond, he'll forever be a Tottenham legend for what he did today. #COYS
