What a night! What a match in Manchester for Spurs.

High drama, suspense, tension, great goals, agony and euphoria, this match had so much. It will go down as one of the most exciting games in the history of football. It was an emotional roller coaster ride. Tottenham triumphed and came from agony to ecstasy in the final minutes. City went from ecstasy to agony when VAR ruled out Sterling's strike. He was denied a hat trick.

Manchester City thought they had won with a late goal, but technology came to the rescue of Tottenham. The goal was ruled offside and Spurs go marching on in the Champions League.

Manchester City won 4-3 on the night, but Spurs won on away goals. Spurs had won the first leg one nil at their new stadium. Manchester City were the favourites and hoped to win four trophies, but they have never defeated an English side in the Champions League. They have lost to Chelsea, Liverpool and now Spurs.

Spurs will now play Ajax in the semifinal. Liverpool will play Barcelona, the favourites.

I thought it would be a final involving Ajax and Barcelona, but the unexpected happened in both semi finals, and it's an all English final in both the Champions League and the Europa cup. EPL dominance? It does say something about the strength of the EPL. Liverpool, who lost last year, must now be the favourites, but in this competition the unexpected can happen.
