Tottenham fans will love what Lucas Moura was doing while in lockdown

Lucas Moura was feeling nostalgic on Tuesday night about "the most magical night of my career".

The Tottenham Hotspur star settled down in front of the television during the evening to re-watch the club's dramatic Champions League semi-final second leg against Ajax.

That night of May 8, 2019 has gone down in history among Spurs fans as one of the best moments they have had in football, as the team did the unthinkable in coming back from 3-0 down to win on away goals in the most remarkable of fashion at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Lucas wrote his name into the club's history and many Tottenham supporters' hearts with his second-half hat-trick in Amsterdam.

On Tuesday night, he watched the match back on Brazilian television channel Esporte Interativo.

As every one of his goals came along so Lucas filmed it on his Instagram Story, reliving that night in the Netherlands.

When that final, last-gasp winner hit the back of the net the Brazilian could barely contain his excitement even though he knew it was coming.

As the celebrations among Mauricio Pochettino and his players went on across his screen he wrote the message: "Thank you Esporte Interativo for making me relive the most magical moment of my career."

Tottenham might well have gone on to lose the Champions League final in Madrid but the fans will always have that night in Amsterdam.

Right now, with football off the menu for some time, they and Lucas are still able to dine out on moments like that.
