A miracle that cost nothing

Tottenham and Manchester City provided all the necessary components to give fans a match full of emotion and great football. The 'Spurs' had not been semi-finalists for many years, specifically since 1962.

And although Pochettino said in the preview of the match that he was already satisfied with his players for what was achieved, when the referee's whistle blew, Spurs made it clear that they wanted more. 

The London squad led by the Argentine coach reached an important milestone on Wednesday, and with few antecedents, if we consider how they faced the latest transfer markets. 

Tottenham has made it to the semifinals of the UCL after getting one of Europes's great teams out of the way, as City is known to have an impressive budget, which gets used often, and has allowed many great signings over the last few years. 

Spurs, however, have not signed any players at all in the last two transfer windows. In fact, the last player to join the team was Lucas Moura, in January 2018, more than a year ago.

After the great Spurs feat, it has become clear that effort, desire and work can still provide unmeasurable success.
