COYS.
Time for some big performances. People weirdly underrate Kane who has one of the best goals per game in prem history. Hope he’s fit enough to play his best which can single handedly dismantle teams.

They’re stronger out wide (because of their fullbacks) but down the middle I reckon we can have them.

Proud that we got this far and if we lose we’ve done it in glory

It will be interesting to see the team Poch puts out. I think our adaptability is superior with all the injuries we have had and Poch has had to mix our systems up quite a bit. Its really a one off game. A 90 minute+ white knuckle ride for both sets of fans.

If we can hold them back early, I think we will get stronger as the game goes on. Two brilliant teams really at the end of the day. Should be a cracking game. COYS!!!

As long as every one of our players can walk off that pitch knowing they gave absolutely everything they had then I'll be happy whatever happens. (That's a lot more than any Arsenal supporter can say this week.)
I'd love them to make all of us ecstatically happy but far more importantly extremely proud. I'm sure they won't let us down.
COYS !!

Yep! The season-long and wholesale injuries across the squad have challenged Poch and the team in a way that none of our rivals have had to endure. It's a testament to the spirit, belief and character running from Poch and through the whole squad. Without those qualities, you don't have the strength to adapt.

Like you say, Poch's had to adapt and mix things up so much due to setbacks. Our success in getting through to the CL Final and getting Top 4 through all of this is incredible! It gives the whole squad the belief that anything's possible.

I just hope we don't start poorly like we normally do and go 2 or so goals behind inside 30 mins.

We know they're going to come at us hard, it's important we ride out their initial wave. As we'll get stronger the game goes on, plus I feel we have more game changers to come off the bench than they do.

We have to play direct for for the first half and hour. Everytime recently we have played these, We try and play out from the back and they squeeze the life out of us which we duly oblige with some form of cock up which they score from.

Just keep it compact and tight and then in the second half our possession football takes over and we have a great shot.

Poch and the team should really know this by now. Liverpool go beserker for 30 to 40 minutes then tail off

Been up since five, reading articles and watching videos about Poch and the boys.

Let’s do this.

I, and my wife and daughter plus son in law, have come all the way from Guatemala, Central America, so as to be present somewhere in a pub close to W.H.L. today. We couldn't get tickets for Madrid and had hoped we could at least enter the stadium to watch the game while soaking up the atmosphere but try as we did we couldn't even get tickets there either.
Folklore.
This is such an exceptional moment in my life as a Spurs supporter (nigh on 62 years) that I'm just happy to be here.
Any recommendations about which pub we should try and watch the game in please?

Been following spurs since the early 1980s and this is the biggest game I have ever known.
I think it's more even that most pundits are saying. I'm sure we will be behind at some point but if we can pull it back and be on equal terms towards the end of the match we will go on to win it.
Whatever happens it's a massive achievement and a wonderful way to close out our first season in our magnificent new stadium. Well done Poch and the lads. COYS.
