Postecoglou said, “It will upset a lot of people, isn’t it! The debate is now furious.

“The latest is that none of us will be able to get a trophy if we win, they will only make a team photo because we are not worthy.

“I mean, who cares if we fight in the league? Why is it important? If it is so easy to reach the finals, why then everyone who finishes in the first three do it? That’s a separate thing. It has nothing to do with the league form.

“We understand that our shape of the league was not great. We understand the struggles we had. There are many of them because of the (injury) of the situation we were in, but how (does) that reduces the achievement of the finals?

Cross? Shot? Spurs will not worry! 🤩

Pedro Porro cross shot is a distant post and the back of the net, and the Spurs are almost there … 5-1 to the aggregate!

“I didn’t care less who was fighting and who wasn’t. I think we and Manchester United earned the right to be there.

“I’m simply pleased with the players, the staff, and especially our supporters. Tonight there were several hundred for which I was sure I would remember this night and thousands of home.

“We have given them real hope and something we will dream of that we can do something special this year.”

The Bodo has captured his fantasy up to the last four, since the fishing city can only boast about 55,000 people, but Kjetil Knutsen’s main coach admitted that the best team had passed.

He said, “We should congratulate Tottenham on a good plan. They set our free game, took away the pace. It became a match in which we never really got into it.

“They had energy and strength. They wanted to go to the finals.

“We have no excuses except meet with a better team.”
