Totally Extra: Tottenham’s trip to the Champions League final

About this episode

The episode discusses Tottenham's remarkable journey to the 2018-19 Champions League final and the subsequent challenges faced by the club.

Jimbo is joined by Dan Kilpatrick, Duncan Alexander and Daniel Storey to discuss Spurs' journey to the 2018-19 Champions League final. The season started with concern after the infamous summer of non-spending with Spurs making zero signings or departures despite Pochettino's remonstrations. What came next was a dizzying run of improbable European wins, late comebacks, Lucas Moura hat-tricks and an unforgettable campaign resulting in a Champions League final against Liverpool in Madrid. It wasn't to be in the final and 7 years on with Spurs now on the brink of relegation into the Championship, was this the moment it all began to unravel? Plus Duncan's away-goals related quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.
