Ajax 2-3 Tottenham: Spurs players filmed singing Wonderwall in dressing room after booking place in Champions League final

Ajax 2-3 Tottenham: Spurs players filmed singing Wonderwall in dressing room after booking place in Champions League final

Tottenham booked their place in the Champions League final with a sensational defeat of Ajax… and their post-match celebrations were documented on social media.


While fans were off revelling in Amsterdam after the final whistle blew on Spurs’ 3-2 win, the players were going crazy in the dressing room to enjoy perhaps the biggest moment in the north London club’s history.



Lucas Moura was at the centre of the celebrations after his hat-trick, which was completed in the dying seconds, secured Mauricio Pochettino’s side an aggregate win on away goals that books Spurs a final date with Liverpool.


The Reds overcame Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate the prior day in another stunning European comeback.











As the partying went on and on in the Tottenham dressing room, Erik Lamela took to social media to show just what was happening during the celebrations.


His Instagram story showed off a quite crazy atmosphere, with the players and staff dancing around and shouting to enjoy their win.





The Spurs players could also been seen on the video singing Oasis hit Wonderwall throughout the revelry – though don’t listen to this if you’d prefer to have the song NOT slaughtered.








Pochettino, the Spurs manager, is not involved in the above videos, as he had post-match duties to attend to, including a press conference and television interviews.


And he broke down in tears on live TV, having also been crying on the pitch immediately after the full-time whistle.




Pochettino could not contain his emotion during his interview

They have verbally agreed a deal and will pay around £5million for the striker, according to Yahoo in Brazil.


Martinelli is highly thought of and even had a trial with Manchester United in 2017.


It has been suggested that Arsenal are waiting for the teenager to get an Italian passport before making the move official.


This means they would not have to negotiate potential visa and work permit issues.

Sergio Aguero should beat Virgil van Dijk and Raheem Sterling to PFA Player of the Year gong, Sam Allardyce tells talkSPORT

Sergio Aguero should beat Virgil van Dijk and Raheem Sterling to PFA Player of the Year gong, Sam Allardyce tells talkSPORT

Sergio Aguero has been tipped to beat Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk and Manchester City team-mate Raheem Sterling to the PFA Player of the Year award this season.


Sam Allardyce says the Argentine striker deserves to finally win the honour after years of consistent scoring at the top level.


Aguero, who was incredibly named in the Team of the Year for the first time only last season, is currently third favourite for the Player of the Year gong.





Aguero and Sterling have been on fire for Man City this season

Aguero and Sterling have been on fire for Man City this season



Netherlands international Van Dijk has long been the front-runner having helped turn Liverpool into Premier League title contenders, while Sterling has emerged as a contender following his purple patch for club and country.


Amazingly, Aguero and Sterling have played a direct role in the same number of goals for Man City this season – both players’ goal and assists tallies total 35.


But, Aguero is the club̢۪s top scoring player with 28 this term and is also leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 18 top flight goals.


The 30-year-old has been one of the most potent hitmen in England since signing for City in 2011. He has netted 277 goals in 329 appearances – an average of 34 per season – and has shown few signs of slowing down.





Aguero won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2014/15 season – but amazingly didn’t make the Team of the Year or win the Player of the Year award

And Allardyce insists this should be the year he is finally rewarded for his exemplary performances.


â€Å“It’s a tough one, there are definitely some good candidates this year, but I’d go for Aguero,” the former England manager told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.


â€Å“Aguero has never won it and he deserves it for what he’s done over the years.


â€Å“I think everyone would probably favour Raheem Sterling at the moment with the way he’s going and the publicity he’s getting.















â€Å“But I think it’s taken for granted for Aguero is doing, and what he always does for Manchester City.


â€Å“So I’d like to see Aguero win it. Raheem Sterling is still young enough to win Young Player of the Year!”

Manchester United 0-1 Barcelona: Luke Shaw own goal gives Red Devils mountain to climb in Champions League

Manchester United have it all to do in their Champions League quarter-final after losing the first leg at home to Barcelona 1-0.


Luke Shaw’s own goal on twelve minutes proved to be the decisive moment in what was a scrappy affair at Old Trafford.

As the 20th anniversary of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s treble-sealing triumph against Bayern Munich approaches, the former striker will have to upset the odds at Barca’s home once again if his side are to progress next Tuesday.


Luis Suarez’s header off the back of Shaw was all that separated the sides in the first leg at Old Trafford, with the way United frustrated the swashbuckling LaLiga leaders in a 1-0 loss giving them some hope of turning around their first quarter-final in five years.

Solskjaer’s side will also take encouragement from last month’s jaw-dropping win at Paris St Germain, where United became the first side in Champions League history to overturn a first-leg home defeat of two goals.


Much like that last-16 clash, the tie could have been out of sight ahead of the return fixture. Barca had the hosts chasing shadows for the first 25 minutes, with Shaw – suspended for the second leg – accidentally putting Ernesto Valverde’s side ahead after Suarez met a superb cross from Lionel Messi.


Initially ruled out for offside, Video Assistant Referee Massimiliano Irrati overturned the decision and the former Liverpool striker made the most of his moment in the spotlight.


Philippe Coutinho forced a fine save from David De Gea but Solskjaer’s Reds grew into the game from the mid-point of the first half and at times had Barcelona rattled.

But as much as they frustrated the visitors, they failed to get a shot on target and Solskjaer’s side suffered a fourth loss in five matches to leave them facing an uphill battle in Spain.


United showed the visitors too much time and respect early on, with Barca’s calm, methodical probing bringing a 12th-minute opener after Sergio Busquets sent Messi scampering.


The Argentinian star took the ball in his stride and then impressively managed to clip over a wedged cross on the turn to the far post, where Suarez firmly headed back across the face of goal and wheeled off in celebration after it went in off Shaw’s back.


The linesman’s flag left the former Liverpool striker as perplexed as he was angry, but the VAR intervened to overturn the offside decision. It is fair to say Suarez enjoyed his second celebration in front of the Stretford End.

The goal had been coming and Barcelona continued to look sharp when moving forwards, with Shaw’s foul on Messi leading to a booking that rules him out of next week’s second leg.


Chris Smalling avoided punishment after leaving the mesmeric Barca forward with blood pouring off his nose, while Scott McTominay was perhaps fortunate not to get booked for simulation after going down in the box under minor contact.


United had by now belatedly settled and booked Busquets was walking a red-card tightrope as Barcelona were made to look uncomfortable.


Marcus Rashford, who fizzed an early free-kick wide, was looking United’s biggest attacking threat and his cross was headed well off target by Diogo Dalot in the home side’s best chance of the first half.





Dalot should have done much better with this header

Dalot should have done much better with this header



Things could have been worse by half-time had it not been for a fine De Gea save with his feet from Coutinho and Suarez snatching at the ball, giving United hope entering the second half.


Pressing with renewed vigour during a bright start, Rashford mishit an attempt from Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s punch and was then just unable to get a touch on a fine Fred pass.


United were struggling to create clear-cut chances and Barca could have put the game to bed in the 65th minute as Suarez raced behind to meet a Nelson Semedo pass, only to fizz into the side-netting.















De Gea denied Jordi Alba at his near post and held onto a deflected Messi free-kick shortly before the impressive McTominay put through substitute Anthony Martial, only for former United defender Gerard Pique to make a timely intervention.


Barcelona dug deep to keep the home side at bay, leaving Solskjaer’s side needing to win at the Nou Camp to reach the semi-finals.


They will need to muster a shot on target to do that, having failed to do so in a Champions League match for the first time since 2005.
