Lucas Moura seems to be coming into his own this season at Tottenham. The Brazilian struggled a bit since joining from Paris Saint-Germain but has scored five goals in the Premier League this term.
The 26-year-old was our saviour in the match against Barcelona as he scored a late equaliser at the Nou Camp.
That was enough for us to make it into the knockout stage of the Champions League, thanks to Inter Milan’s 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven.
Tottenham had their chances to score more against a changed Barcelona XI, but the Catalans were a whisker away from getting more goals too.
Philippe Coutinho hit the post twice, and that could have killed our chances of qualifying for the next stage.
Moura could have scored his most important goal for Tottenham to date, and several fans were quick to thank the player for his performance and saving our Champions League campaign.
What a result, COYS!!

Fantastic goal and unlucky to have not come away with a hat trick in the end. Hope to see at Wembley on Saturday
