Lucas Moura: 'It's impossible to explain what I am feeling' after hat-trick

Lucas Moura branded his hat-trick against Ajax the 'best moment' of his career after Tottenham reached their first Champions League final in the most dramatic fashion.

The Brazilian scored an injury-time winner as Tottenham came from 3-0 down on aggregate to win on away goals and book their place in the June 1 showpiece against Liverpool.

Moura scored all three goals to help turn the tie on its head in the space of 45 minutes and following wild celebrations at the final whistle, he struggled to sum up his emotions.

'It's impossible to explain what I am feeling at this moment,' the Brazilian told BT Sport after the final whistle.

'I am very happy, very proud of my team-mates. We also believed it was possible and gave everything on the pitch. I think we deserved this moment, we are a family.

'It's impossible to explain, I am so happy. It's a big gift from God and I'd like to share it with my team-mates and fans.'

Spurs looked dead and buried at half time after goals from Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech put Ajax 2-0 up on the night at half-time.

But Moura scored twice in the first 15 minutes of the second period before he latched on to Dele Alli's flick-on to fire Spurs into the final in stoppage time.

'Everyone worked hard. It's difficult to play here against Ajax but I always believed in my team-mates and their qualities, even without key players. I am really proud,' he added.

'Football is amazing, it gives moments like this that we cannot imagine. We need to enjoy it. It's the best moment in my career and I only need to say thank you to my team-mates because what I am living here at Tottenham is unbelievable.'
