Perhaps the most shocking result of this season's Champions League was when Ajax knocked out defending champions Real Madrid on their own turf by beating them 4-1, inspired by an imperious display from their Serbian star Dusan Tadic.

Tadic was the Man Of The Match as he scored one and set up two as Ajax completely outplayed Real Madrid, and condemned Los Blancos to their first elimination from the Champions League since 2015.

Tadic bossed Madrid's defense and left Casemiro for dead, before providing his second assist to David Neres as he spun away from Casemiro showing possibly the best skill of this season's competition. Tadic had the match of his life, and that enabled Ajax to reach the quarterfinal.

After being 2-0 down in the first half and 3-0 on aggregate in the tie, Spurs needed three goals in the second half to win the tie and it seemed like mission impossible.

With Harry Kane out of the game due to injury and Son looking out of form, Lucas Moura stepped up and scored a stunning hat-trick, which he completed in the 96th minute, to lead Mauricio Pochettino's men to the most unlikely of all comebacks.

Spurs got out of jail, with a 3-2 win on the night, which sent them through to the final on the away goals rule. Moura became the fifth player ever to score a Champions League semifinal hat-trick, and he isn't done. Spurs will go to their first ever UEFA Champions League Final, and against Liverpool in Madrid, one cannot write them off.
