Tottenham are in the first Champions League final in their club's historyTottenham had just one point from their first three group stage games and looked set to watch Inter Milan progress instead of them, but an 85th-minute equaliser at Barcelona to draw 1-1 at the Nou Camp as Inter drew at home to PSV saw Spurs progress thanks to a superior goal difference. Mauricio Pochettino’s side thrashed Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the quarter finals before a thrilling defeat of Premier League champions Manchester City over two legs. After a 1-0 win in just the second game at their new stadium, Spurs lost 4-3 away at City but progressed on away goals while a 93rd-minute Raheem Sterling goal was ruled offside by VAR. A similarly-dramatic tie ensued against Ajax in the semi finals, when the north London outfit lost 1-0 at home but won 3-2 away from home in the return contest having been 2-0 down at half-time and 3-0 down on aggregate.
