Lucas Moura celebrates scoring Tottenham’s third
They will now face Liverpool in the final next month with a very realistic prospect of Moura fulfilling the prediction he made 18 months ago.
Spurs signed the Brazil international for £25million from Paris Saint-Germain and the club have not made another signing for the last two transfer windows.
His debut came in the 2-2 draw with Juventus last February in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, which they went on to lose.

The midfielder saw no reason why Spurs could not aim to win the competition.
He said: “Why not? The Champions League is the most difficult cup but I think we have the capacity to win. If we always think positive, always work hard.
“I think we [had] a big game against Juventus away. It’s not easy to score in Italy. I think we had a good result and the next game I am sure that we can win, that we can do a big game with our fans and to continue.
