It was back in 2019 when Tottenham made it to the Champions League final and nearly ended their trophy drought. Their road to the final, where they lost to Liverpool, was not an easy one and there was more than one moment where it looked as if Mauricio Pochettino's side would take an early exit out of the competition.
After finishing six points behind Barcelona in second place of their Champions League group, Tottenham beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 over two legs in the round of 16. They then faced Manchester City in the quarter-final stage of the competition.
The first leg of the tie saw Spurs go 1-0 up with a 78th minute goal from Son Heung-min and it meant Pochettino's side had the advantage, going into the game at the Etihad Stadium. It didn't take long for Pep Guardiola's side to bounce back, as Raheem Sterling found the back of the net for the first time in the match, inside the first five minutes.
