Tottenham star, Kieran Trippier, has revealed how his injured teammate, Harry Kane’s half-time team talk inspired Tottenham players to beat Ajax.
Tottenham defeated the Dutch side 3-2 and progressed to the Champions League final on the UEFA away goal rule.
Spurs came from 3-0 down on aggregate at half-time against Ajax on Wednesday to book a place in Madrid against Liverpool on June 1.
It was their first Champions League final ever.
And the injured Kane, who was out of the match, was not happy with how Spurs played in the first half in Amsterdam.
He got into his team-mates at half-time.
“Harry is exceptional for club and country,” Tottenham full-back Trippier told Sky Sports.
“I don’t know the timescale with his injury but obviously we’re all hoping he can be back because of his presence, even here at half-time, he’s coming in, going mental at us because we can do better, which we all knew.
“But this is what we need, the leadership that he has, the way he came in at half-time. He wasn’t happy and we all knew that.
“He just gives us that extra lift because his presence is massive for us.”
