David Ginola tips Spurs to become "great club"

Spurs will play Liverpool in an all-English final in Madrid on June 1.

David Ginola believes Tottenham's stunning journey to the Champions League final has elevated the club into the elite of European football.

Spurs staged a remarkable rally from 3-0 down on aggregate at half-time against Ajax on Wednesday to reach their first ever Champions League final, against Liverpool in Madrid on June 1.

It was another show of Tottenham's amazing powers of recovery after
Mauricio Pochettino's side took only one point from their opening three games at the group stage and also trailed Manchester City in the second leg of their quarter-final.

"Every single person now realises that Spurs is one of the clubs to take into consideration," former Tottenham winger David Ginola told talkSPORT.

"Spurs have got every bits and pieces to be a great club. They have a great training centre, a great stadium, and now they've got a great team.

"Pochettino has not spent a penny in the last year-and-a-half, probably the only team that have not spent a lot of money on players.

"This is the reward for stability, players getting to know each other in training, this is how you get results."

"This is why Pochettino is a great manager, because he can see when the team is not performing well and he has the ability to change the team in a second.

"When Llorente went on, all the lights went on as well – Son, Ali, Eriksen and Lucas Moura.

"It was the first time in the Champions League this season you saw Ajax struggling.

"They had great performances against Real Madrid and Juventus, but in the second half you could not recognise the players from Ajax."

"It was an amazing night for the club, an historic night which is up there with some of the greatest ever victories the club's ever had."

Former Spurs striker Clive Allen added on BBC Radio 5Live: "The second half was just something that I've never experienced.

"It was just something that I'll remember for the rest of my life.

"The club's making new history, moved into a new stadium and they now find themselves in the Champions League final – it's just unbelievable."
