Exactly 5 years ago, Tottenham made an incredible comeback in the Champions League semi-finals

Exactly five years ago, on May 5, 2019, Ajax hosted Tottenham in the second semi-final of the Champions League. In the first semi-final, the Amsterdam team won in London with a score of 1:0, so Erik ten Hag's team was considered the favorite at that time.

The return match initially went well for Ajax – the team led 2:0 after the first half thanks to goals from Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech. However, Tottenham did not give up and made an incredible comeback. Lucas Moura scored a hat-trick, scoring in the 55th, 59th and 90+6th minutes. Spurs won 3:2 and qualified for the final on the away goals rule. In the final match, the Londoners lost to Liverpool (0:2).
