He was about to burn, but Tottenham still shot one of his extra lives and hung on the miracle of the standings with a 1-0 win against Inter Milan at Wembley thanks to a late goal of Christian Eriksen.
The certification of the miracle will arrive at Camp Nou the day after the UEFA Champions League, when it will be measured in Barcelona and the first group. It will "copy" what Inter -al, which equals seven points but exceeds the goal difference against the PSV to enter the eighth.
Tottenham took advantage of this last opportunity since the depths of Wembley, in a horrible match, without excessive opportunity and with the victory of the locals for the only success in the zone of the whole match.
The first part was a football song. But a singing song, monotonous and boring. A scream in the cathedral that is Wembley. The bad appearance of the stands, which barely pbaded the central entrance, did not help the game and the first 45 minutes were sopor.
Tottenham was stimulated by the need for a win that would not eliminate him from the competition. Inter was protected, arropadito back, without pressure and without haste. Every movement of the clock was a small victory on his part.
The "Spurs" threatened to come in a whirlwind, as in the victory against Chelsea just a few days ago. They had a pair arrived in the first moments.
Kane was the one with the most responsibility. A jugadón, leaving to several rivals in pbading, finished with Alli sending a shot on the goal.
Pochettino's fans missed the creativity of Eriksen and Heung-min Son, both on the bench, and Handanovic did not seem to catch a shot from Moura until after a great save without touching the Alli balloon.
Inter was happy to defend and Mauro Icardi barely touched the ball. And Luciano Spalleti was satisfied with that. Only a crossbar Harry Winks, at the edge of the rest, pulled him out of his lethargy.
The Italian coach responded by expanding his team in the second half. Also helped by a Tottenham who smelled the breath of the elimination in the neck and by the entrance of Borja Valero – by Nainggolan's injury, which soothed the center of the pitch and made it relevant.
When Londoners took risks, spaces for Perisic and his company appeared and worries increased for Tottenham, who also began to despair.
The inhabitants began to enter the fabric of Italian provocations. Winks was facing Valero and the frustration of the English team, who looked superior, became palpable on Wembley 's threatening grbad.
The Sound entry tilted the field a few degrees and tinged imagination the last three quarters of the Tottenham Court. But purpose and clairvoyance were still wanting to try.
What did not come in a smooth attack, was Vertonghen's head. The Belgian returned two months later to the competition and was on the verge of overtaking his when a lack of Eriksen, recently admitted, was slightly diverted by the central. But the balloon did not enter.
When Brozovic shot Lloris and the French shot a sensational hand glued to the post.
Tottenham had earned one more life and he had fourteen minutes left to enjoy it.
He left some. With 10 minutes to play, Sissoko went into the box, surprised by the pbadivity of the Italian defense, and gave the ball to Alli at the penalty spot. The Englishman returned and generously pbaded to Eriksen, who came from behind to sign the 1-0 and push Tottenham.
Now he will have to enjoy this last life in the most complicated scenario possible, Camp Nou. But if it is possible that the miracle is possible, they will have to hang on to it.
