Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur will take on Liverpool in the 2019 UEFA Champions League final after Mauricio Pochettino's men produced a dramatic comeback to knock Ajax out on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate draw. Erik ten Hag's side looked set to cruise into the final after goals from Matthjis de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech had put them 2-0 up on the night and 3-0 up on aggregate. However, Spurs hit back in the second half with Lucas Moura bagging a hat-trick to send the club into the Champions League final for the first time in their history. Spurs now face Liverpool who also produced a dramatic comeback in their clash with Barcelona. The Reds lost 3-0 at the Camp Nou in the first leg but stunned the Spanish champions by winning the return 4-0 at Anfield. Here's a look at the odds for the final after the conclusion of the two matches: Here's are the tournament's top scorers, per BBC Sport.

Salah and Firmino were both forced to sit out their dramatic 4-0 win over Barcelona on Tuesday, but they were not needed as Divock Origi came in and scored twice and Georginio Wijnaldum also bagged a brace: Jurgen Klopp will hope to have his preferred trio fit for the final, as they aim to go one better than last season when they were beaten by Real Madrid. Mane was on target in their 3-1 defeat to Los Blancos and will be hoping to score in consecutive finals: Lucas Moura took his tally to five for the tournament with his match-winning hat-trick against Ajax that completed a sensational comeback for Tottenham. The Brazilian kept his composure to slot a low shot past goalkeeper Andre Onana with virtually the last kick of the game to seal the win (UK only): Tottenham may also be boosted by the return of captain and star striker Harry Kane from injury. The 25-year-old has been out of action with an ankle problem since April but is expected to be fit in time: Kane's return would be a major boost for Spurs as they prepare for their first ever European Cup final, and there will be plenty of attacking talent on display at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on June 1.<doc-sep>These two teams that reached the Champions League Final 2019 have beaten some kind of odds, delivering stunning comeback victories to shape up a compelling championship in three weeks: It's Liverpool vs. Tottenham, a match that seemed virtually impossible last week with both teams down after Leg 1. First, Liverpool pulled off the unlikely, beating Barcelona 4-0 in Leg 2. Wednesday, Tottehnam faced nearly impossible odds with a three-goal deficit at halftime in their semifinal game against Ajax. Both teams did the unthinkable, shaping up a Champions League Final worth watching. When is the UEFA Champions League Final 2019 date, time and TV channels? Liverpool vs. Tottenham date: June 1, 2019 Time: 3 p.m. Eastern Time Place: The Wanda Metropolitano, home to Atletico Madrid (63,500 capacity) TV Channels: NT, UniMas, Univision Deportes Network, FuboTV, PlayStation Vue and Sling TV, Hulu Live and B/R Live. Tottenham players said after their stunning victory Wednesday that they were inspired by Liverpool's similarly stunning upset victory the day before. "We saw Liverpool last night — it goes to show it's not over until it is over," Tottenham fullback Danny Rose said, according to the AP. Here's how it happened, according to the Associated Press: Lucas Moura completed a hat trick in the sixth minute of injury time as Tottenham rallied to beat Ajax 3-2 and reach its first Champions League final, ending a remarkable run by the young Dutch team that had knocked off some of Europe's biggest clubs along the way. It was a rally that was eerily similar to the one the previous night at Anfield, where Liverpool erased a 3-0 deficit from the first leg by beating Barcelona 4-0 at home. In Amsterdam, Moura nearly single-handedly helped Tottenham pull off a similar feat. Ajax seemed to have the two-legged semifinal wrapped up by halftime after teenage captain Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech netted to put it 2-0 up at the break — and 3-0 on aggregate. But Moura scored twice in a four-minute span to put the visitors one goal from going through 3-3 on aggregate thanks to the away goals rule. After Jan Vertonghen's header hit the crossbar in the 87th minute, that goal finally arrived when Moura struck again deep into injury time. Dele Alli laid the ball off for the Brazilian as he streaked into the area and his low shot crept inside the right post to complete another improbable victory. "It's impossible to explain what I'm feeling in this moment," Moura said. "We always believed it was possible, and we gave everything on the pitch. I think we deserved this moment."<doc-sep>Chops: I’m writing this on Friday. I still haven’t come down from the high of Tuesday. What even compares? Maybe I was still this amped four days after my daughter was born–but then again, she was colicy and I didn’t sleep for 3 months so maybe not. Anyway–all of my YNWA friends are thrilled about this match-up. Liverpool beat Spurs both times they played in the Premier League and are 24(!!!) points ahead of them domestically. I’m not so overly optimistic. This won’t be a cake walk. Yes, Liverpool will get Mo Salah back and will presumably have a fully fit team. Yes, Liverpool has perhaps the all-time greatest striker in the world in DIVOCK ORIGI–who is averaging a goal per every 98 minutes this year–better than Robert Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Sergio Aguero. And he’ll just be coming off the bench! Oh, the luxury! In all seriousness, this Spurs team is not “Spursy.” They’re the opposite of being Spursy. They’ll be rested. They’ll also likely be healthier. These two teams are familiar with each other. This will be a chess match. It will feature Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino in starring roles. I see this game going similarly to how a lot of their games have gone this year. They’ll feel each other out early on. Liverpool will likely go up a goal in the first half. Both Klopp and Poch have been expert all year in making in-game and half-time adjustments and substitutions. Poch will have Spurs coming out the gate strong in the second half. Klopp will wait just a bit too long to adjust / sub, and Spurs tie it 1-1. However, Liverpool have more overall talent and fitness, and they’ll find a way just like they have all year to pull out a win. Liverpool grinds out a 2-1 victory. Katya: Well, I’ve come to realize that betting is not my forte. My predictions have rarely held up (except Liverpool last round, and even that was questionable after the first leg). What this says to me is that any logic at this point is out the door. Here we have two teams that clearly deserve to be in the Champions League Final. Logically, it would make sense for Liverpool to win. They are statistically stronger than Tottenham. But Tottenham have proved their worth. I see this match being more of a tactical battle between two brilliant minds – Klopp and Pochettino. Each will be looking to outwit the other and you better believe that they will both be prepared for the other’s rebuttal. With all this being said, I am still pulling for Liverpool. They seem to be more well-rounded with goals in the last 4 games coming from: Origi, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino, and Keita. Meanwhile, Spurs have been heavily relying on Son and Moura (ok Llorente scored one as well). Klopp has a deeper bench of players to rely on. Players, all of which, who have proved themselves on the pitch this year. And yes, technically, Liverpool will be more rested but I don’t see that really playing a part when both teams will still have 2 weeks of recovery time after this Sunday’s EPL matches. Either way, this will be a close match. I don’t see either team pulling away with a big lead (unless, we continue with the theme of one player having an insane game and scoring 2-3 goals). I’m going to follow Chop’s lead (afterall, he does know Liverpool pretty well) and say Liverpool “grinds out” a 2-1 win. Tyler: Liverpool was incredibly impressive in knocking off Barcelona despite losing Leg 1 3-0. How on earth do you climb out of a hole like that with a line-up missing two of its top pieces in Salah and Firmino? With both those players back, and with nearly three weeks’ rest between the EPL finale on Sunday and the final on June 1, the Reds will be fresh and at full strength for the first time in a long time. I also think what happened last year in the UCL final vs. Real Madrid works in Liverpool’s favor: this team has been on this stage before and knows what it will take, and also doesn’t have to worry about Sergio Ramos. The only “negative” I can think of for Klopp’s team is that it will be a long way from Anfield, and it’s last trip to Spain (Leg 1 against Barcelona) did not go well. What to say about Spurs? I didn’t like their chances at all against City, and I didn’t think they’d beat Ajax, either. Still can’t comprehend what we saw Wednesday, by the way. This team needs the rest it will get between now and June 1 more than anyone, and it could have Harry Kane back as well. They have been gritty as hell, and from a motivation standpoint, having lost to Liverpool twice already works in their favor in that they’ll be determined not to go 0-for-3 against the Reds, but it won’t be enough. I think this will be tight for 45-60 minutes or so, but Liverpool will pull away late. I’ll stick with what I said this week on the High Press Pod (and continue to show Spurs no respect): Liverpool 3, Tottenham 1. Carl: What we all witnessed in both semi finals was what the Premier League is all about. That never say die attitude. Without taking credit away from Liverpool and Spurs achievements, Barca went into Anfield with a philosophy to contain, which is the total opposite to their identity. Ajax showed signs of complacency in the second half of the first leg and that complacency showed up again in the second half of the second leg due to inexperience. Both Liverpool and Spurs took advantage of their situations. Yes we’re used to these two teams playing against each other, but what they’re playing for changes the dynamic in every way. We won’t see one team containing or the other fading due to inexperience in the second half.<doc-sep>There are rules of football. Conventions, guidelines and an overarching structure that dictates when a good team comes upon against a lesser team, there is only one winner. When, at the elite level, a team comes up against a depleted foe with a 3-0 lead, there is only one winner. Only ever one winner. Especially when it’s Barcelona. When it’s Lionel Messi. There is only ever one winner. This is how things work. How things always have and always will work. But then there’s Liverpool. Jurgen’s original message A reoccurring theme in recent weeks has been the ethos of turning doubters to believers. It’s come up again and again, Jurgen Klopp’s stoic mantra. Especially now at the end of one of the finest seasons we’ve ever witnessed, where all around us heads are being lost. Yet how many believed that a 3-0 deficit was possible to overturn in 90 minutes – with the last gasp heartbreak of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino omissions? How many of you, really? I don’t know if I did. I still don’t know if I do even now. Believe, believe, believe has been the message all season. Yet when the impossible seemed, quite frankly, beyond impossible, the Reds did it yet again. Remember Kyiv? Remember Salah being hauled to the turf and the tears flowing? Remember Karius and everything falling apart in slow motion? The salty taste in the mouth… the looking to the skies and getting nothing back. Remember the pain sinking in? Remember that exact moment of realisation that it all came crashing down? Of course you do. You’ll never, ever forget it. But now remember this – we have a time to make amends. We go again. It’s happening. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Finalists, again Liverpool Football Club are in the Champions League final. Back-to-back Champions League finalists, no less. Back from the dead. A week ago we were in the Camp Nou, giving it everything. Watching one of the performances of the season. Don’t let the scoreline deceive you, Liverpool were absolutely on top of their game in Catalonia. They wanted it, they pushed, fought and dug deep. But it wasn’t enough. Lionel Messi saw to that. But when all is said and done, football is a game of who wants it more. Doesn’t matter who you are, or where you’ve been. Doesn’t matter if you’re the best player the game has ever seen, or if you’re 24-year-old Divock Origi who absolutely bloody adores an important goal. Over and over again. Origi in normal time. Origi in added time. Origi in whatever time you want to give him. Origi who was on loan at Wolfsburg last season and probably didn’t even know what the future had in store. Or if you’re 20-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold, scouser born and bred, who had enough about him to see a chance from a corner that many of us would never see, a million times over. Who plays that first-time pass? In a Champions League semi-final second leg? In such a precise way that it only needs a half-decent connection to turn it into the top corner past one of the best goalkeepers in Europe? Don’t say we didn’t warn you Barcelona, pride of Spain and Champions League royalty, never saw it coming. The Reds didn’t just win this, they won it in regulation time and with a passion and verve this historic competition hasn’t seen for many years. If ever. “We have a lot to do but let’s enjoy it. This is a celebration of football, of this wonderful season. If we fail, let’s fail in the most beautiful way.” Those were the words of Jurgen Klopp before this one, and just let them sink in right now. Let them resonate, let them drip into your very bones. Soak deep into the pores. The words of a man who knew battle was on the horizon and his troops were fighting to the death, regardless. What an approach, what an ask and what a beautiful grasp of this ridiculous game we all love so dearly. Liverpool had pretty much laid everything on the table in the first-leg. This was jumping over the trenches kind of stuff. One last hurrah, one last charge for glory. One last hail Mary. When you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain. The Reds knew this, and went at Barcelona like a team possessed. Closing down every inch of the Anfield turf inside a fever-pitch colosseum. The Kop rattled Barca more so than any team in recent years, without a single doubt. It’s all fine and well, sitting in your near-on 100,000 capacity stadium, but when it comes to the real auditoriums of football on the grandest, most vital occasions, you better be ready. Barca were not, and here we are. Somehow, here we are. Dreams of June Liverpool will go to the Champions League final. Again. Liverpool will be in Madrid. Keep telling yourselves, on repeat, Liverpool are going to the Champions League final. Just 12 months on from Shevchenko Park we will be at it again. Seriously, get your heads around it. It will take a while. Tottenham await. Quite frankly, now, nothing matters. Liverpool are going for six. It’s those bloody scousers yet again. Spoiling the party, overstaying their welcome. From doubters, to believers. From Champions League finalists…to Champions League finalists. Drink this in. This is why we love football, and why we love Liverpool. ‘You may say I’m a dreamer,’ John Lennon once sang. Now, the dream continues, blissfully on. Welcome to the new dawn.<doc-sep>

The Champions League is one of the most prestigious soccer tournaments in the world, featuring many of Europe's top clubs. The tournament is played by the winners of each domestic league, as well as runner-ups in some of the stronger leagues, such as the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, and Italian Serie A. After qualification rounds, the tournament is grouped into eight groups of four teams, where the top two teams from each group have a round-robin match play. The top two teams in each group advance to the knockout rounds. Each round is two-legged, as each team has a match on their home field. If the score is tied after aggregate, the team with more away goals advances. If away goals are equal, penalty kicks decide the winner. How did Liverpool and Tottenham make the Champions League Final? In one of the most dramatic comebacks in recent memory, Liverpool defeated Barcelona 4-0 (4-3 aggregate) on Tuesday to clinch a second straight berth to the UEFA Champions League Final. It was only the fourth time in Champions League history a team completed a three-goal turnaround. The comeback was even more impressive when taking into consideration the Reds were without two of their top strikers: Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino. Liverpool defeated F.C. Porto in the quarterfinals and Bayern Munich in the Round of 16. Tottenham found their backs against the wall against the Dutch club Ajax, as they trailed 3-0 on aggregate in the second half of Wednesday's second leg. But Lucas Moura delivered a hat trick in the second half, with a last-second goal in added time to advance Spurs to the Final. In a similar dramatic fashion, Tottenham defeated Manchester City in the quarterfinals, after cruising by Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16.
