The Londoners trained by Argentinean Mauricio Pochettino have got their qualification from the group stage after losing the first two rounds with Inter Milan and FC Barcelona. Eight points in the next four matches sent Tottenham in the finals with Borussia Dortmund. Here, “White-blue” defeated Germany’s vice-champion, 4-0 to the overall score. However, nothing announces what would happen in the next two phases. Tottenham eliminated England’s champion Manchester City with 4-4 overall due to goals scored on Etihad, after the VAR system canceled correctly, Sergio Aguero’s success at the end of the return game. Izbanda has given the wings to the Londoners, who reach the final after a fantastic new match.

The dream of Pocchetino’s students continues, but Tottenham starts again with the second chance in the last act in Madrid.
Liverpool returns to the Champions League final, after clearing the previous one, Real Madrid 1-3, last season. “The Cormorants” have 5 such trophies, yielding three other finals over time.
