Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham proved doubters wrong with a run to the Champions League final he hailed as a “miracle”.

Spurs were 3-0 down on aggregate in their semi-final after goals from captain Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech put Ajax 2-0 up on the night in Amsterdam.

But two goals before the hour from Lucas Moura put the tie back in the balance and the Brazilian forward capped a remarkable encounter with another fine finish in the sixth minute of stoppage-time.

It means an all-English final in Madrid on June 1 after Liverpool completed their own improbable feat of escapology from 3-nil` down to Barcelona.

But, while Jurgen Klopp’s side have enjoyed a stunning season that could still see them claim the Premier League title this weekend, Spurs failed to sign any new players and left Pochettino grappling with continuous injury problems as the move into their new stadium was long delayed.

“To get the club to the final of the Champions League is very close to a miracle. No one believed in us from the beginning of the season,” he told a post-match news conference.

“We are so close to getting into the top four and on June 1 we will play Liverpool in the final in Madrid.

“It is an amazing season, in our new home, and I think that this chapter we are going to extend until the June 1, it will be amazing to close the chapter playing the final.

“If we win it will be an amazing book.”
