I am in tears but i must say that Spurs deserved to win today.. Ajax didnt show up for the second half..
Unlucky mate,you guys can be proud. In this money driven game your team has upset all odds against them to get so close. Heads should be high. It's only taken a decade for City to surpass the PL with money, you guys are on a tiny budget so no shame there. I feel lucky to have watched the football Ajax have played this year.

My day totally ruined and I don't even care for Ajax. F*** football this year seriously.

If Chelsea and Arsenal make it to the EL final, would this be the first time all 4 teams in the finals to be from one league?

Throw back season really. Instead of watching overpowered Bayern, Juve, Barca and Real squads take turns to contest it is a return to the golden days of the tournament, wide open, a little more parity, just makes for a great spectacle, the true flavour of the CL.

Fecking gutted for Ajax tbh. Congrats to Spurs, these semi finals have been ridiculous. Who the feck would have predicted a Liverpool - spurs final back when they were both looking like they'd get knocked out of the group stage?

Liverpool will be hot favourites now.
They always were but one team has pushed them close in 2 games this year and the other plays football highly susceptible to their press and a manager who has never dealt with it before.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!
What an incredible couple of nights of football. You don’t see this kind of thing very often.

At least Spurs have a slightly better chance than Ajax of stopping the scum from winning it but I’m not holding out much hope. Ajax showed their inexperience tonight and would have been crushed by Liverpool. At least Spurs know what they’re up against and should have Kane back (right?).

Both Liverpool and Spurs can point to it being their destiny to win the final after those two comebacks! :eek:

What a season in Europe for English teams. A clean sweep in the finals is imminent. We’re very conspicuous in our absence :(
Don't forget that the EL will almost certainly be won by an English club too!
If it's swung back to a period of English domination in Europe and we are not part of it … how sad would that be?

Gutted for Ajax. They were cruising to the final before the last 45 minutes.

Really should have put more men at the back as it was as clear as day Spurs were going to hoof it at the end.

The real losers are City. By far the best team in Europe but again Pep has failed without the best team if all time. They should have fulfilled Kompany's dream this year.

CL Semi Finals , English football at its very best , showing the rest of Europe how we can play football.
Ole should sit the whole team down and make them watch both games on repeat, to show them how a team plays for the club and not just for the fecking pay packet

Spurs bo... oh wait. Waiting for the final to use the word bottle on either team.

Ajax bottled it! The bottlers!

edit: salivating at the opportunity to type THE WORD on the final premier league day.
