What happened last time in Wanda Metropolitano?
In the last Champions League final hosted by Wanda Metropolitano, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Liverpool 2-0 in the final. While the final was a one-sided affair with Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi scoring, their run to the final was interesting. Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate, having lost the first leg 3-0, while Spurs beat Ajax in a monumental semifinal.
The North London side lost 1-0 in the first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and were down 2-0 (3-0 overall) heading into the final 30 minutes of the second leg. However, Lucas Moura structured Tottenham’s comeback and scored a hat-trick to book his side’s place in the final as Spurs won away goals.
