It's the first all-English final since the 2007/08 season when Manchester United faced Chelsea in Moscow.<doc-sep>Liverpool will play Tottenham in the 2019 Champions League final after the English side defeated Ajax on another dramatic night in Europe. Leading 1-0 from the first-leg in London, Ajax quickly doubled their advantage with their teenage captain, Matthijs de Ligt, heading home powerfully after just five minutes. The Dutch side then made it 3-0 on aggregate with a lovely flowing move that ended with dangerman and winger Hakim Ziyech firing past Hugo Lloris. But two goals in quick succession from Lucas Moura in the second half made it a dramatic ending and the Brazilian completed an incredible hat-trick in the dying seconds to send Spurs to the final. Tottenham will be the designated ‘home’ side in the final, which means Liverpool can wear their traditional red colours as the away side. It will be Spurs’ first ever European Cup final, with the London side having previously reached three UEFA Cup finals – the last being in 1984 – and one Cup Winners Cup final. It will be second ever all-English final, the previous having been between Man United and Chelsea in 2008. In contrast, it will be Liverpool’s ninth European Cup final, having won the competition five times. Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 in each of the two league meetings this season. With three weeks between the Reds’ final league game of the season, at home to Wolves on Sunday, and the final in Madrid, Jurgen Klopp‘s side will head to a warm-weather training camp in the intervening three weeks. Where is the final? The Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid, which has been home to Atletico Madrid since 2017/18. The stadium holds 67,829. When is the final? Saturday, June 1, kicking off at 8pm (BST). What about tickets? Liverpool / UEFA have announced ticket info, with just 16,613 being the Reds’ allocation. They range in price from the balmy £513 to £60.<doc-sep>Amsterdam: Tottenham have a shot at becoming champions of Europe for the first time in their history after a hat-trick from Lucas Moura pulled off a dramatic victory against Ajax in the second remarkable turnaround in the competition in as many days. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino sobbed in joy and called his players "super-heroes" after Lucas’ goal six minutes into injury time set up the first all-English final against Liverpool since 2008 in Madrid on June 1. The last-gasp victory on the away goals rule -- the tie finished 3-3 overall -- came 24 hours after Liverpool had destroyed Barcelona with an unlikely 4-0 victory. Ajax, a team captained by outstanding 19-year-old defender Matthijs de Ligt, seemed set for the final as they grimly held on to a 3-2 lead on aggregate deep in stoppage time in the second leg of the semi-final at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Then Lucas, a Brazilian who was released by Paris Saint-Germain and sold to Spurs for a cut-price fee, delivered the killer blow. When the ball broke to him in the box, Lucas shot beyond Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana to seal the comeback, making it 3-2 on the night. "It is one of the most important nights in my life," said Pochettino, who was in tears at full-time. "The most important thing is to congratulate my players. They did a great job." "I have said before that they are heroes. I think they are super-heroes now. To have brought the club to the final of the Champions League is very close to a miracle." - ‘Best moment of my life’ - Lucas was also swept away in the emotion. "Football gives us moments like this that we cannot imagine," said Lucas. "We need to enjoy it. Look at me -- it’s the best moment in my life, my career." The Times newspaper hailed Spurs’ attitude. "What happened was that Pochettino’s players, inspired by their coach’s half-time exhortations and a key substitution, reacted fully in keeping with the club’s traditions of boldness, daring and belief," the paper said. The Ajax players slumped to the turf after having a first Champions League final since 1996 snatched away from them. Leading 1-0 after the first leg, the thrilling Dutch side appeared to have killed the tie after De Ligt and Hakim Ziyech scored in the first half in Amsterdam. That left Tottenham needing a comeback to match that of Liverpool against Barcelona the previous night, but in an even shorter timespan. Two goals in quick succession from Lucas early in the second half gave them something to cling onto, before he struck the decisive blow. Erik ten Hag’s team must now lift themselves to try to complete a Dutch league and Cup double. Their team is then likely to be broken up before the new season begins -- Frenkie de Jong has already signed for Barcelona and De Ligt could reportedly join him at the Camp Nou, although Manchester United are among a host of other suitors. "I told the players it is very hard to find the right words in a moment like this and that football is cruel," said Ten Hag. "We have to endure the cruel side tonight but we have to go on." Both teams were deprived of key players -- England striker Harry Kane was missing through injury and Ajax suffered the blow of losing Brazilian winger David Neres to injury just before kick-off. But the Dutch side shrugged off his loss as De Ligt’s header put them ahead on the night. Spurs did threaten an immediate reply as Son Heung-min hit the near post before Ajax got their second when Dusan Tadic cut the ball back for Ziyech, whose shot flew into the far corner. Few observers could have foreseen what was to come as Spurs echoed what Liverpool had done at Anfield 24 hours earlier. Spurs scored their first in the 55th minute, Lucas combining with Dele Alli and slotting past Onana. Four minutes after that Lucas pounced when substitute Fernando Llorente’s effort was saved, the Brazilian deftly hooking the ball into the corner. Ajax came so close to securing victory as Ziyech twice nearly scored again and Jan Vertonghen crashed a header against the bar at the other end. Just when it looked like Ajax would hang on, Lucas sent his teammates into raptures.<doc-sep>When all hope appeared to be gone, when the race appeared to be run, when the bodies seemed drained and spent, when they were 3-0 down in a Champions League semi-final with less than 45 minutes to go, then do not worry about a thing. Just as the Ajax crowd finished its traditional half-time rendition of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”, just as they began to believe that their dream of seeing their team reach the final against Liverpool, they were silenced. Spurs scored. Spurs found a way. They had the will. A hat-trick by Lucas Moura did it as they fought their way back with courage and bravery and undying belief to go through on away goals – the same method by which they eliminated Manchester City in the quarter-finals. And this was just as dramatic with Moura’s final goal coming deep in injury-time, just around the same time as the one ruled out by City’s Raheem Sterling. It meant that over this epic tie Spurs led for just the final two minutes of added time and they are through, through to the first European Cup final in their history, through to face Liverpool in what will be only the third final in European competitions to be contested by two English teams. What a worthy final it will be. Two excellent, courageous sides led by two charismatic, remarkable managers. Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp are kindred spirits in the way they connect with their players, with the fans and the energy and soul they bring. They manage two sides who are Monsters of Mentality.<doc-sep>
Tottenham will play Liverpool in the Champions League final after beating Ajax with a stoppage-time winner in Amsterdam. Spurs, who were playing in their first European Cup semi-final for 57 years, won 3-2 on the night after losing the first leg 1-0 at home in north London last week. Manager Mauricio Pochettino's side went through on away goals after the tie finished 3-3, striker Lucas Moura scoring a hat-trick in a packed Johan Cruyff Arena. Image: The Spurs players were jubilant After the final whistle, Pochettino said it was "difficult to talk". "The emotion is amazing," he told BT Sport. "My players are heroes. They are all heroes but [Lucas Moura] was a superhero." Moura said it was the "best moment in my life - in my career", adding that it was "impossible to explain what I'm feeling". Image: Ajax players devastated after the defeat It means two English teams have staged brilliant semi-final comebacks on consecutive evenings to claim their place in the biggest match in European football, after Liverpool overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat Barcelona 4-3 at Anfield on Tuesday night. Tottenham full-back Danny Rose said he and his team-mates "saw Liverpool and it just goes to show it's not over until it's over". The England defender added: "The gaffer mentioned it at the hotel before we left and he just said 'that's the right attitude'." The final against Jurgen Klopp's Reds will be in Madrid on 1 June. Image: Tottenham's Lucas Moura celebrates after scoring the team's third goal Spurs appeared to be virtually out of the tie after conceding two goals in the first half, meaning they were 3-0 down on aggregate. But they got on to the scoresheet in the 55th minute after Danny Rose set Lucas Moura free to stroke the ball home. Moura bagged his second four minutes later, finding the net after Llorente was denied from point-blank range. Then as the final whistle was drawing near, Moura ran on to a through-ball from Dele Alli to score the winner.
