Tonight's result was in no way a one-man show as Tottenham clawed their way back with everything they had as a unit. Their effort proved more valiant than Ajax's, who fell just short of booking a successful spot in a Champions League final since more than 2 decades.

But tonight, one man shone brighter than the rest, mostly in the all crucial second half, as Lucas Moura tore apart Ajax's back line and dragged Spurs back into the tie with two quick goals in first 15 of the second half. His second goal was all him, as his shot came with his back towards the goal, from his wrong foot all while being marked by 3 defenders.

Lucas Moura may not have lived up to the hype that was expected of him when he moved from Sao Paulo to PSG, but he sure is a bloody incredible talent, dragging his side to the final of Europe's, nay, the World's best football competition.
