Tottenham will face Liverpool in the final of the Champions League after eliminating Ajax in the discount

[Dark]

The image of the Ajax footballers lying on the grass summed it all up. Also the pineapple of Tottenham players on a Lucas Moura that is already part of the history spur forever. The impossible again happened in the Champions for the second consecutive night. Like Liverpool, the Pochettino team also rose from the dead to overcome a difference of three goals and reach the final of the Metropolitan. The difference is that Tottenham did it in 45 minutes, because while in London, Ajax added another two in the first half. Tottenham had three and made it, all with the signature of the same player, Lucas Moura, the most unthinkable hero of a historical event, a match for the golden album of the European Cup.
Ajax knew that this first opportunity will also be the last. There is not much room for romanticism in football today, so that the epic with the Dutch club are able to survive a single summer. It is already certain that De Jong will leave, opening a vortex that can also absorb De Ligt, Ziyech, Van de Beek, Tagliafico ... The richest clubs in Europe threaten to dismember the great work of Erik Ten Hag.

                                

Hence, no matter the injury in the warming of Neres, the Ajax dawned in the meeting presumed by jaws, exhibiting the effervescence that had brought him to such a point. No matter that the partial result would benefit him, Ajax never negotiates its offensive and daring nature. It is a team that seems to be governed by different codes from the rest of the world. And nobody better represents that seductive identity as Matthijs De Ligt, a 19-year-old captain, a midfielder with the quality of a playmaker and a superlative header. He was the one who played for Juventus and also the one who gave a tremendous blow on Wednesday, thanks to an accurate header in the five minutes.

The Tottenham remained petrified, as if he did not understand anything of what was happening. It was the English team who had to overcome and watched astounded how his rival was attacking him without rest, taking risks without looking back. They had to spend a few minutes for Pochettino's to assume the new situation and work accordingly, lowering the revolutions and balancing the control of the ball.

Tottenham's problem was the disconnection between Eriksen and the rest of the team, an evil that also stalked him in the first leg. He approached the goal of Onana in a couple of shots of Son and Eriksen himself, but did not offer the feeling of generating real danger. On the contrary that the Ajax, that after warning in a against of Tadic, marked the second in another fast play drawn by Van de Beek, prolonged by the Serbian and specified by Ziyech.

THE LLORENTE ENTRANCE

The Ajax went to the rest mounted in a cloud, believing already finalist although the prudence forced not to do it. On the other side of the wall at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Pochettino assumed he had nothing to lose and chose to enter Llorente by Wanyama, a striker for a midfielder. A move that set the Ajax central, delayed the position of Eriksen, enhanced the role of Delle Ali and released Lucas Moura in a brilliant start of the second half.

Ali was the first to warn Ajax, but an immense Onana denied him the glory, if only momentarily. Because in just a quarter of an hour, Tottenham managed to regain the pulse thanks to two goals from Lucas Moura, the first in a quick against and the second after a misunderstanding between Onana, who had just made a parade to Llorente, and Schöne.

From then on, the match turned into an extraordinary madness, with Tottenham assuming more and more risks in search of the third goal he sent to Madrid and Ajax trying to take advantage of the spaces left behind by England. Ziyech, the smartest guy in the class, was very close to scoring the third on two occasions, with a shot deflected from the penalty spot and another that went to the post shortly after. There died the Ajax's options of consummating his glory.

Tottenham became the only team on the pitch, overloading the Onana area as if there were no tomorrow. Vertonghen grazed the goal in a header to the crossbar that the defense ended up pulling sticks without knowing very well how until 95 minutes came the third goal of Lucas Moura that bathed a stadium in tears. Some for the happiness of achieving an impossible, the others because never such a beautiful story had such a cruel end.
