Jacob Steinberg was our friend in the north. Here’s his report. Congratulations to Spurs, commiserations to Bodø/Glimt. Thanks for reading this MBM.
Ange Postecoglou talks to TNT Sports. “Couldn’t be prouder of the lads … we knew it was a difficult place to come … their record … the pitch … the lads handled it really well … fully deserved to get through … we’re excited, were in a final … we’ve grown in maturity through this competition … the lads understand what’s required … focused … clear minds … we’ve used every player in the squad … we’re used to dealing with adversity … they’ve handled all three knockout ties well … you understand the context of what this club has been trying to achieve for a while … managers and players come and go but one constant is the supporters … it was just great to see the smiles on their faces … we’ve given them some hope, something to dream about … hopefully we can do something special … we’ll just keep doing what we’re doing.”
