JOIN USTottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente said scoring the decisive goal against Manchester City that sealed the London side's progress to the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday was "one of the best moments" of his career.
Llorente's 73rd-minute goal, which was allowed to stand after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review to check for a possible handball, made it 4-4 on aggregate and allowed Tottenham to advance on away goals despite a 4-3 defeat.
"What a night, unbelievable. It's one of the best moments in my career," the Spanish striker told Tottenham's website. "I've lived unbelievable moments like winning the World Cup, winning the European Championship, winning the Europa League (with Sevilla) and winning the league in Italy (with Juventus) but this one is history."
The result ensured Tottenham reached the Champions League last four for the first time where they will face Ajax Amsterdam. They made the European Cup semi-finals in 1962.
"To do this with an unbelievable team like Tottenham and be for the first time in the semi-finals of the Champions League with these teammates is crazy," Llorente added. "I believe in them and I think we can make history."
