News about Lucas Moura

The last time Harry Kane reached this stage of the Champions League he was injured and unable to contribute in the usual way. With Tottenham trailing 3-0 on aggregate at Ajax, Kane made his way down from his seat in the stands to the dressing room to deliver a half-time pep talk. Whether the inspiration came from him or boss Mauricio Pochettino, who also spoke, or neither of them, Lucas Moura responded with a hat trick. Spurs went into the final in Madrid and Kane, after two months out, declared himself fit. Moura went back to the bench. Liverpool won 2-0. Heartbreak for Tottenham who did not expect to win the Champions League but were beginning to wonder if their name was on the cup. It wasn't. It rarely is these days. Five years on, Kane is still waits for the major trophy nobody will begrudge him after a decade of pure excellence.

KIERAN GILL: Time spent getting to know the thunderbolt of Tottenham revealed a rise equally as rapid, though Micky van de Ven's sprint to stardom was not without the odd stumble, a particularly painful one arriving at 16 years old when told he lacked the speed to succeed. It is a ludicrous tale - how a club in the Dutch second division came so close to discarding the defender now testing the shutter speeds of photographers' cameras at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Today, he holds the Premier League record as its fastest-ever player, previously clocked at 23.23mph. Back then, he supposedly smuggled lead in his socks, a story which Van de Ven's father, Marcel, related to Mail Sport this week. 'When the Volendam trainer said, "You're not fast enough and not good enough", I understood that a kid who's 16 might think, "That's it. I'm done. I have to go",' Marcel said, speaking from his native Netherlands. 'But I told him, "This is the best message they are ever going to give you. You know you can play, so play. If you think they are going to send you away, just play. And if they send you away, I will bring you to the club where you can play with your friends. But for now, go on. Do what you like. Do what you love. Do what you want. Live your dream".

The away goals rule has not been used in European tournaments since the 2021-22 season after UEFA announced that they would be abolishing the regulation that had been an intrinsic part of European tournaments since the 1960s. The regulation would certainly have some significance following Tuesday's opening round of Champions League quarter-final matches if it was still in place, with Arsenal holding Bayern Munich to a 2-2 draw at the Emirates, while Manchester City rallied to secure a 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid.  Prior to 2021, it would mean that Arsenal would travel to the Allianz Arena in their second fixture and would need to attack against the Bundesliga Champions. City, meanwhile, would perhaps be more comfortable in their return leg against Madrid, should that game end in a draw - but anything can happen in football, right?

Once they step out of the eye of the storm it is easier for players and managers to see just how destabilising Paris Saint-Germain's obsession to win the Champions League has been. 'The pressure for the Champions League was too strong,' now-Chelsea centre back Thiago Silva, who spent eight years at PSG, told Le Parisien last year. 'It was something that hurt me because I saw the situation change, and the pressure increased to win. But that's not how you win. It's a question of consistency year after year.'

MATT BARLOW: MATT BARLOW: Although Premier League clubs were investing £2.36 billion on transfers, Maidstone United were battling to replace two outdated toilet blocks and wondering where they would find the £250,000 needed to replace their 3G pitch next season.

As Liverpool went wild early on, Ryan Mason watched in awe as the team that he took on from the fired Cristian Stellini earlier this week were left at sixes and sevens. Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah's goals seemed to have tied the game up in the first half, but Tottenham Hotspur, unlike last week, reacted and saw a draw be saved late in the second half thanks to Richarlison's head effort. However, just 99 seconds later, the doom and gloom had returned, with Lucas Moura allowing the ball to Diogo Jota, who had to slide under a helpless Fraser Forster to win the game.

Since losing 3-0 down within 15 minutes against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, Gary Neville has suggested that Tottenham'set up a direct debit' to their supporters.

Spurs suffered a humiliating 6-1 loss to Newcastle last weekend, a game in which they went five goals down within 21 minutes, before salvageing a 2-2 draw against Manchester United after going 2-0 down on Thursday.

Lucas Moura, a Tottenham winger, has apologised for the'mistake' he made in getting sent off at Everton on Monday night, insisting there was no malicious intent in his tumultuous tackle on Michael Keane. The 30-year-old Brazilian was dismissed just six minutes after being brought from the bench at Goodison Park for an over-the-top match on Keane, who had no ill-effects to stride forward and hit a swerving shot past Hugo Lloris to salvage a 1-1 draw. After the match, Moura posted this message: "There are good days and bad days, but today is a sad day for me."

JOE BERNSTEIN AT GOODISON PARK: Michael Keane, Everton's unexpected hero, after rifling home a dramatic long-range strike to salvage a 1-1 draw against Tottenham. After Harry Kane fired Spurs in front of the penalty spot on a night where both sides were reduced to ten men, Keane popped up with the all-important equalizer right at the death. Abdoulaye Doucoure had been suspended for firing Kane in the face prior to his opener, but Lucas Moura had been given his marching orders for the visitors late on following a late challenge on Keane. The pair made the final say just a few minutes later, bringing an incredible effort past Hugo Lloris to snatch a point for Everton.
