The drama and tension were unremitting to the last. Tottenham had been in and out and then they were back in again when the substitute, Lucas Moura, converged on Harry Kane’s cross to snatch the equaliser. Spurs had pressed hard on the front foot throughout an excellent second-half performance and the goal was no more than they deserved.
But when the full-time whistle sounded, they had to wait. Their Champions League progress depended on them matching Internazionale’s result against PSV Eindhoven in Milan and the score there was 1-1. A late Inter winner would have dumped them out. The seconds ticked like hours. Then, up in the Camp Nou gods, the cheering started.
