Tottenham fans will love Manchester City's reminder of Champions League heroics

Tottenham Hotspur's road to the Champions League final was filled with drama.

Whether it's almost being knocked out in the group stages, or that last gasp victory over Ajax in the semi-finals, it was a cup run which will live long on the memory of all Spurs fans.

The night when Mauricio Pochettino's side knew they were in the middle of something special was that night at the Etihad Stadium.

After losing 1-0 in the first leg, a ding-dong battle in Manchester led to one of the most thrilling Champions League ties in recent memory.

Seven goals in the night saw Spurs in a position where they led through the away goals rule with the scores level at 4-4 on aggregate.

Fernando Llorente's goal ultimately made the difference but it could have been so different had Sergio Aguero's late effort not been ruled out by VAR.

It was a gut-wrenching moment for the Blues, and one that the social media team at the club are seemingly struggling to overcome.

Responding to a Twitter post of a girl crying while watching her phone with the caption 'What TV show am I watching?', City responded with the infamous image from the Champions League clash which showed their late winner being ruled out for offside.

It was a heartbreaking moment for Manchester City fans, but for Tottenham supporters it's a welcome reminder of a wonderful evening for the club.

With things not going so well at present, I'm sure such a reminder will be more than welcome as Mauricio Pochettino's side look towards more success in the future.
