Tottenham hero Lucas Moura breaks down in tears when hearing Brazilian commentary of hat-trick goal

Tottenham hero Lucas Moura broke down in tears on Wednesday night as he hears the commentary of his goal which sealed a Champions League final place.

The Brazilian, the last player Spurs signed when he arrived on January 31, 2018, etched his name into club folklore with three second-half goals to seal a remarkable comeback.

With Ajax cruising into their first Champions League final in two decades, Spurs stunned their hosts with the 96th minute to make their first ever European Cup showpiece.

Following the game, Lucas was shown footage from his native Brazil of commentator Jorge Iggor and was brought to tears.

Watch the footage below.

After the game, Lucas told English media: "Of course it is the greatest night of my career. Three goals in the semi-final of the Champions League is unbelievable.

"It is an emotional day. Football is amazing, it gives you this special moment."
