Tottenham Hotspur have reached the Champions League final for the first time in their history. Just as it looked like a heroic second-half effort from Mauricio Pochettino's side would be in vain, Lucas Moura sealed his hat-trick with virtually the last kick of the game. It means the north Londoners progressed on the away goals rule and set up an all-English final with Liverpool in the process. And all that without Harry Kane, who could only watch on in delight. Moura was the man to step up, curiously scoring all three goals on his weaker left foot - the first player to do that in a European semi-final, per Squawka.

Ferdinand and Hoddle's reaction to Moura's goal It's astonishing to think that were it not for Spurs' woeful luck with injuries, the Brazilian probably would have been on the bench. Instead, he wrote himself into Tottenham folklore. It's a night he, nor anyone associated with the club, will ever forget. This was the moment that finalised a dramatic comeback: 

The 26-year-old was then shown a replay in one of his post-match interviews on Brazilian TV station Esporte Interativo, and it prompted quite the response. 

The forward couldn't help but break down in tears as he watched it back with Portuguese commentary: 

"It's impossible to explain what I'm feeling. I'm very happy and very proud of my team-mates," he told BT Sport in a separate interview. 

"Always believe in this moment. We gave everything on the pitch and deserved this moment - we are family. It's impossible to explain, a big gift from God I'd like to share with team-mates, friends and family.

"It's about not only me but my team-mates and teamwork. Everyone worked really hard. It's difficult to play here against Ajax but I always believed in my team-mates.

"Even without key players we did really well. We need to fight in every game like this.

"The football is amazing - it gives us a moment like this. We cannot imagine. It's the best moment in my career."

Moura wasn't the only one in tears after the final whistle, Pochettino also breaking down on the pitch at full-time. 

The emotion spoke of a campaign where Tottenham have consistently defied the odds, coming back from the dead in the group stages before beating Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and now Ajax. 

Have they got one more upset in store in Madrid on June 1?
