Tottenham booked their place in the last four of the Champions League for the first time despite a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday evening.
After winning 1-0 at their new stadium last week, Tottenham snatched a remarkable away-goals victory to end City's quadruple quest at the Etihad Stadium.
Raheem Sterling thought he had completed a stunning hat-trick in the dying moments of a pulsating Champions League quarter-final to send the hosts through, but VAR intervened and ruled Sergio Aguero had strayed marginally offside in the build-up.
It was an incredible ending to a thrilling contest, and captured in a nutshell the dramatic nature of Tottenham's entire Champions League campaign.
With just one point from their opening three group games, Mauricio Pochettino declared their Champions League hopes "nearly over" back in October.
Late wins against PSV Eindhoven and Inter followed to ensure there was life in Tottenham's Euro bid ahead of their last group match at the Camp Nou.
And with Inter Milan only able to draw 1-1 at home to PSV Eindhoven, Lucas Moura's 85th-minute equaliser in Barcelona sent Spurs into the last 16. Pochettino hailed his players for achieving "mission impossible" by reaching the knockout stages.
"I am so happy for the fans - this is a massive, massive achievement for the club," he said.
It was just the eighth time a team had qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League after gathering just one point from their first three group games.
A comprehensive victory over Borussia Dortmund followed, before the latest minor miracle in Manchester on Wednesday saw Spurs safely into the last four.
Here's a reminder of how Tottenham's Champions League group looked after just three matches...
