Ajax v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Semi Final: Second Leg

Having been largely confined to a bench role for most of the season, Brazilian winger Lucas Moura turned savior for Mauricio Pochettino's men in the Champions League semi-finals. He scored a sensational hat-trick to help Spurs win the second leg against Ajax 3-2. Harry Kane is expected to start the Champions League final with the striker reported to be back in full training following an ankle injury. It is yet to be seen whether Son Heung-Min, Lucas or both will start in Madrid along with Englishman.

Moura has contributed 15 goals and 3 assists this season for the Spurs in his first full season at the North London club, having moved from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018 for a fee of around £25 million. He has already immortalised himself amongst the Spurs faithful with his man-of-the-match performance against Ajax and is sure to be a potent threat for Liverpool. Given his searing pace and ability to score audacious goals, he is sure to play a vital part for Spurs. Moura is Tottenham's leading goalscorer in the Champions League with 5 goals, along with Harry Kane.
