Tottenham entered the semis of the Champions League in Manchester City despite a 3 – 4 defeat

Tottenham Hotspur reached the semi – finals of the Champions League on goals off after a 4 – 3 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday after an amazing encounter at the Etihad Stadium.

Spurs, who won 1 – 0 in the first leg and advanced after the tie finished 4 – 4 overall, will be playing Ajax Amsterdam in the final against Liverpool or Barcelona after one of the most remarkable matches in the history of the competition.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino predicted the meeting would be an “open and exciting game” with the exciting and young Dutch side, but offering more entertainment than this non – stop wave of drama and emotions will take something for it.

The pair will meet at the same Premier League venue on Saturday, with plenty for both teams at stake. It should be another classic, but it’s hard to see how it might be as fascinating as this one.
