They looked better than 3-0 in the first leg in fairness but you had to think Barca would see it out, but like last season and their loss to Roma they couldn’t hold on to a commanding first leg lead!! Neither Ajax nor Spurs will be able to live with Liverpool if they maintain this form in the final!!
Shock of shocks! Jammy Spurs "steal" a Champions League final place with an away goal in the dying secs of a match that Ajax should've had "in the bag" in a game of "fine margins". 2-0 at HT and a pivotal moment centred on a crazy goal incident where Schone impeded his own goalie from grabbing the ball after a great save + a great shot that hit Spurs post and bounced out into Spurs' pen box!! Fine margins!! So it is an unfortunate all English footie club final and I actually hope Liverpool absolutely "pump" Spurs, not just beat them, mainly because they are one of the jammiest finalists in years to get to Madrid at all and should've been eliminated by Barca in their quali group but the Barca manager chose to field a C team that Spurs full team couldn't even beat but still managed to gain a precious point to qualify for the last 16!! I hope they get "humped" in Madrid as they shouldn't be anywhere near such a final! Something has definitely changed in the general standard of Euro footie across the leagues IMO and that is the end result and looks the same way in the Europa League too for some reason!! The biggest joke is that neither of these teams are actually champions of their own footie league, a comment that has been made many times down the years by lotsa critics re the Champions League "title" and the provision of "conveyor belt Euro footie" by UEFA.
