This year’s Champions League trophy will be an all-English affair after Tottenham, like Liverpool, yesterday made a remarkable comeback, beating Ajax 3-2 ion the Netherlands, and thus progressing to Final where they will fight with the Reds.
Today’s game was a thriller. Ajax, having the 0-1 advantage from the first–leg match, made an ideal start. They were ahead 2-0 at halftime. In the second, Tottenham had to concede no goals on the one hand, and on the other to score three goals. Terribly difficult, however they found the strength to do it.
First they scored in the 55th minute, then they equalized in the 59th and had the winner at the sixth minute of injury time.
The hero of the game was Brazilian Lucas, who had a hat-trick for Tottenham.
So, the final on Saturday 1st June, (Sunday, June 2 Australian time) , will be an all-English match between Liverpool and Tottenham.
