Champions League final preview: A look at how Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham made it to the final in Madrid including epic wins over Ajax and Man City


Despite just one point from their first three games, Tottenham have defied the odds time and time again in their enthralling run to the Champions League final.

Maurcio Pochettino's side had an awful start to the campaign but after coming back from the dead just to even make it through the group stage, they've reached their first-ever Champions League final.

After sneaking through the group and an amazing late VAR call at Man City, they fittingly booked a date against Premier League rivals Liverpool with possibly the comeback all all time at Ajax.

It's certainly been a roller coaster for Spurs fans but their side have made it all the way to the Champions League final.

Spurs were cruising towards victory at San Siro in their opening group game as they led through Christian Eriksen's strike. However, a late collapse saw the Italian side score two goals through Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino in the final five minutes to inflict an early defeat on Mauricio Pochettino's side.

A Barcelona masterclass at Wembley plunged Spurs into dire straits after only two games of Group B. Goals from Phillipe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic put them into an early two-goal lead before Harry Kane got the hosts back in it. Lionel Messi's first restored their advantage and - after Erik Lamela had scored another for Spurs - the Argentinian wrapped it up late on.
