Lucas Moura scored a second-half hat-trick, and 96th-minute winner, as Spurs progressed on away goals on Wednesday.

It came 24 hours after Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0, having lost the first leg 3-0, to book their place in Madrid.

"I think it's one of the most important nights in my life," said Pochettino.

Tottenham trailed 1-0 after the home leg and found themselves 2-0 down at half-time in Amsterdam, before Brazilian forward Moura's dramatic hat-trick made it 3-3 on aggregate and sent Spurs into a first Champions League final.

"To get the club to the final of the Champions League... I think is very close to a miracle," added Pochettino.

"No one believed in us from the beginning of the season. We are so close to the top four and have the opportunity in Madrid to play the final against Liverpool."

Tottenham defender Danny Rose said: "We saw Liverpool last night, and it goes to show it's not over until it's over."

The final, the competition's first all-English affair since Manchester United beat Chelsea on penalties in Moscow in 2008, will take place on 1 June at at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

The Spurs Boss said: "I want to congratulate Jurgen Klopp and all the players and Liverpool, because I think they were amazing.

"We enjoyed a lot watching the tie against Barcelona. They are heroes too and, of course, it is going to be an amazing final between two English teams that for sure we are going to enjoy."
