Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Juventus:
Spurs out of Champions League
(March 07 2018)
Tottenham's Champions League dream was ended by a second-half sucker-punch from Italian champions Juventus.
Spurs, leading 1-0 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate through Son Heung-min's goal, were half-an-hour from reaching the quarter-finals and proving that finally they belong among Europe's heavyweights.
But two goals in three minutes from Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala floored Mauricio Pochettino's side as their European run finally came to a halt with a 4-3 aggregate defeat.
It was a brave display from Spurs, who came agonisingly close to forcing extra-time when Harry Kane hit a post with a minute to play, but Champions League glory will have to wait for another year at least.
