Manchester United legend Gary Neville's hilarious tweet after Tottenham make Champions League final against Liverpool FC

Gary Neville has joked that Tottenham Hotspur deserve to win the Champions League after a remarkable comeback against Ajax to make it to the final in Madrid.

Spurs will face Manchester United's fiercest rivals Liverpool in the final after their own incredible comeback against Barcelona on Tuesday night and it doesn't seem like Neville wants his old foes to lift the trophy for the sixth time.

It appeared that Tottenham were dead and buried at half-time as Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech had put the Dutch side 2-0 up at the break and 3-0 on aggregate.

But Spurs came out fighting in the second-half and a hat-trick from Lucas Moura, with the winner coming in the 95th minute, sent the North Londoners through to the final in the most dramatic of fashion.

It sets up the first all English Champions League final since Manchester United defeated Chelsea on penalties in 2008.

Neville tweeted in the aftermath of the final whistle: "they really deserve this trophy don't they" accompanied with a photo of the Spurs badge, so no mistake who he will be supporting come the final.

Tottenham will take on Liverpool in the Champions League final on June 1 in the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.
