Inside Tottenham's changing room celebrations after stunning Ajax comeback

These were the scenes inside the Tottenham dressing room after Mauricio Pochettino’s men pulled off a remarkable comeback on Wednesday night to reach the Champions League final.

Spurs replicated Liverpool's Champions League miracle as Lucas Moura's dramatic second-half hat-trick set up a stunning 3-2 win over Ajax - and an all-English final against the Reds.

The north Londoners were dead and buried at half-time in the second leg at the Johan Cryuff ArenA as they trailed the Amsterdam team 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate after goals from Matthijs De Ligt and Hakim Ziyech.

However, a miraculous comeback, spearheaded by Moura, was completed deep into added time when the Brazilian slotted home a loose ball to seal away goals success and spark amazing scenes in Amsterdam.

And the jubilant players were rightly delighted with their heroic effort on Wednesday night, celebrating wildly in the away dressing room.

Erik Lamela, a late second-half substitute for Kieran Trippier, took to his Instagram account to show the world how much this victory meant to Spurs.

In the video clip, the players can be seen dancing and chanting as they soaked up the celebrations on an historic night for the north Londoners.

Moussa Sissoko also posted a similar video, in which the Spurs players gave a rendition of the famous Oasis hit 'Wonderwall' while dancing around the changing room

Mauricio Pochettino's response when asked if he will quit if Tottenham beat Liverpool

This triumph continues the remarkable progress for Spurs under boss Pochettino, who has led the club further in Europe than any other.

Jurgen Klopp's men may have thought their name was on the trophy after the manner of their comeback against Barcelona, the Reds securing an astonishing 4-0 win on Tuesday night to seal a 4-3 aggregate victory.

But Spurs, who look set to finish in the Premier League’s top four this season too, will have other ideas and it promises to be a brilliant spectacle in Madrid on June 1.

For Ajax, a brilliant run in this competition, where they beat Real Madrid and Juventus in previous rounds, ended in the most heartbreaking of ways and with their side set to be picked apart in the summer, they are unlikely to have a better chance of winning European football's premier club competition than this.
