DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur player Danny Rose said that Liverpool’s comeback against Barcelona inspired his team.
Danny Rose said the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Mauricio Pochettino, gave an example of Liverpool’s success as a motivational material ahead of a dramatic 3-2 victory over AFC Ajax.
Liverpool lost 3-0 to Barcelona in the first leg but rose by turning things around thanks to a 4-0 victory at Anfield Stadium to ensure a place in the Champions League final.
Spurs also underwent a second leg armed with defeat. Entertaining Ajax at home at the time, Danny Rose and his friends suffered a 1-0 defeat. Even at half time, Ajax was 2-0 up thanks to goals from Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech.
But the Spurs bounced back in the second half, finishing from Lucas Moura in the 55th and 59th minute increasingly motivating to turn things around. Finally, in injury time, the 96th minute, Lucas Moura scored the third goal to make the aggregate 3-3.
“We saw Liverpool last night. This shows that the match has not ended until it’s finished. Disappointed with how we started the match in the first leg. Tonight, we started again like that. However, after the first round break, we came out to show the best game,” said Danny Rose.
