Well, congratulations. A case of the 'ends justifying the means’ for Juve.
No point overanalysing this. We’re out. You’re through. We’ll just have to step up that little bit more next year.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
D.
You guys have a very impressive young team, played your hearts out. It was a fascinating 180 minutes to watch. Very fine margins.
I, for one, will be cheering for you to hold onto your stars this summer and win the premier league next season.

The amount of butthurt and revisionist history from Tottenham fans on reddit and other forums is hilarious. Saying our defenders were brutes the whole series, they had 2 phantom goals disallowed, etc. Never mind the clear penalty we had denied this match. Shit is too funny.
Yeah. I keep reading Chiellini and Barzagli should have been sent off, but no mention of Vertonghen who should have been sent off between the penalty foul on Dougie C and multiple others. Nor do a lot of them see that they did not create all that many clearcut chances in the 180, and that 2 of their 3 goals were scored on pretty massive mistakes by Buffon, who usually never makes such errors. While we performed quite poorly, the really good chances were slightly shaded in our favour over the two legs, our CBs were absolute beasts at keeping Spurs to mostly shots from outside the box, bad angles, and contesting and blocking a lot.
But... Spurs fans here have been pretty classy, and their team put in a spirited and impressive performance against us. Kudos to them for that. Fine margins won this tie. It was damn entertaining.
