Spurs win on away goals after a 3-3 draw on aggregate
Tottenham Hotspur have reached the Champions League final after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Ajax in the second leg of their semi-final.
Spurs were without their star player Harry Kane and a goal down following the home leg of their last-four clash.
But a stunning comeback in Amsterdam saw them reach the final for the first time in the club's history.
Lucas Moura scored a hat-trick for Spurs, with his third goal coming in the fifth minute of injury time.
The result means that Tottenham will face either Liverpool or Barcelona in the final in Madrid on 1 June.
It is a remarkable achievement for Spurs, who have not won a major trophy since 2008.
But they will now be looking to go all the way and win the Champions League for the first time.
The match was a thrilling encounter from start to finish, with both teams having chances to win.
Ajax took the lead through Matthijs de Ligt in the fifth minute, but Spurs equalised through Moura just 10 minutes later.
Ajax then went back in front through Hakim Ziyech in the 35th minute, but Spurs levelled again through Moura in the 55th minute.
The match looked to be heading for extra time, but Moura popped up with his third goal in the dying moments to send Spurs through.
It was a famous victory for Spurs, who showed great character and resilience to come back from behind and win the match.
They will now be looking to go all the way and win the Champions League for the first time.
