You didn't think we were going to leave this one out, did you?

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Spurs made the worst possible start in Amsterdam when a towering fifth-minute header by 19-year-old Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt doubled the advantage for Erik ten Hag's exciting young side.

Hakim Ziyech doubled Ajax's lead on the night with a sweeping finish and left Spurs 3-0 behind on aggregate.

Lucas Moura reduced the deficit in the second-half with a composed finish before the Brazilian's shot on the turn levelled the scores on the night.

In a frantic finish, Vertonghen headed against the bar from four yards before Moura completed his hat-trick with a left-foot shot from 16 yards deep into stoppage time as Spurs won on away goals to reach their first Champions League final.

The oldest we're going in this list dates back to 1991 and it happens to be the first semi-final to be played at Wembley.

Not only was it the first, but it delivered one of the greatest goals ever to be seen at the stadium.

Arsenal were gunning for the double, but Spurs' adopted Geordie, Gascoigne, struck a 30-yard free-kick which forced BBC commentator Barry Davies to cry "schoolboy's-own stuff."

Clever build-up play enabled Gary Lineker to grab a second before Alan Smith gave the Gunners hope with his effort.

Lineker then struck a third which slipped through David Seaman's hands from outside the area.

Tottenham survived a strong fightback from League One side Sheffield United to set up a League Cup final with Chelsea.

Spurs held a 1-0 lead from the first leg and looked to be cruising when Christian Eriksen made it 2-0 on aggregate with a first-half free-kick.

But the Blades' 18-year-old substitute Che Adams struck twice from close range in three minutes, bringing the prospect of extra time into focus.

A late goal from Eriksen, however, saved Spurs' blushes and sent Mauricio Pochettino's side to Wembley.

Even with Manchester United's patchy Champions League qualification, the lowest they earned from European football in five campaigns between 2019-2024 was about £52m - from last season's group-stage exit in the Champions League.

Since then, Uefa's major revamp of its three competitions has dramatically increased the prize pot, which Maguire says would guarantee United a minimum £70m from Champions League participation next season - even if they lost all of their eight league-stage fixtures.

This season Manchester City are estimated to have earned about £64m through their initial qualification, below-par results and eventual 22nd-placed finish in the table, then being knocked out of the play-offs by Real Madrid.

Arsenal are up to almost £97m after they reached the semi-finals by beating Real Madrid over two legs.

Manchester United let a three-goal lead slip against Championship side Coventry City but still edged through on penalties in an epic FA Cup semi-final last year.

Coventry, managed by former United striker Mark Robins, looked well beaten with less than 20 minutes to play, but Ellis Simms and Callum O'Hare gave the Sky Blues a lifeline.

Haji Wright then converted a stoppage-time penalty to take the game to extra time.

Victor Torp thought he had won it in the final seconds of extra time, only for the video assistant referee to rule his goal out for offside.

Though it was Erik ten Hag's United who ultimately triumphed on penalties, it was the Coventry players who received a heroes' ovation from their fans despite the Wembley heartache.

A week after that incredible game at Villa Park, United set up their second final in equally thrilling fashion.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side were held 1-1 by Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford, and quickly found themselves 2-0 down in Turin after two Filippo Inzaghi goals in the first 11 minutes.

Up stepped captain Keane, who produced one of the greatest individual performances in United's history.

The Irishman headed home a David Beckham corner in the 24th minute to inspire a comeback.

Dwight Yorke levelled the tie 10 minutes later and, with United already heading through on away goals, Andy Cole scored a third in the closing stages.

Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs produced a moment of magic in extra time to put the Red Devils into the FA Cup final at the expense of title rivals Arsenal.

After drawing their first semi-final 0-0, both sides were back at Villa Park for a midweek replay full of tension.

United took the lead through David Beckham before Dennis Bergkamp levelled in the second half.

Things looked to unravel for United then with skipper Roy Keane sent off in the 74th minute before Phil Neville conceded a penalty right at the end of normal time.

But Bergkamp, who had levelled things up for the Gunners, saw his penalty saved by Peter Schmeichel, before Ryan Giggs netted a 109th-minute winner following an incredible mazy run.

Jose Mourinho took his Roma side to Bodo/Glimt in 2021 and it didn't end very well. It turned out to be the joint-biggest defeat of his managerial career so far.

Roma were beaten 6-1 in the Europa Conference League tie.

It was the first time a Mourinho side had conceded six or more goals in a single game.

Question from Paul: All 3 managers of Spurs, Man Utd and Chelsea have been under fire this season. Which one benefits the most European cup win?

Excellent question. They obviously all stand to gain from winning a trophy. The glory and gratification that comes from winning a European competition is undeniable. But for Postecoglou, while it may not keep him in a job at Tottenham, it will enhance his reputation ahead of a return to management should he leave north London.

Europa League winner looks good on a CV and will certainly open doors for Postecoglou elsewhere. And the satisfaction he'll get from walking off into the sunset by maintaining his record of winning a trophy in his second season at every club he has manager will be huge.

Bodo/Glimt only qualified for Europe six times before 2020, but this is their fifth straight season playing in Europe.

In the 2021-22 Conference League, they beat a Roma side managed by Jose Mourinho 6-1, before overcoming a Celtic team managed by current Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou in the knockout round play-offs - winning 5-1 on aggregate.

The following season they played in all three Uefa competitions, losing both their Europa League group games against Arsenal. They lost in the Conference League knockout round play-offs - and again in 2023-24 - so this season's run has surpassed even their own fans' wildest expectations.

Bodo/Glimt finished ninth in the Europa League's league phase, where they lost 3-2 at Manchester United. They then knocked out Twente and Olympiakos before beating Lazio on penalties to become the first Norwegian team to reach the semi-finals of a European men's competition.

Question: Will winning the Europa League or not determine Man Utd's transfer plans?

Manchester United officials will tell you there is a plan for transfers if they win the Europa League and one if they don’t. That is fairly obvious. What they are less keen to talk about is the financial impact of no Europe.

The level of players you can buy has to be lower because there is not as much money available and you can’t offer a place in the Champions League. Then, I guess, it will come down to whether United go after the same level of player – but fewer of them – and it would be more expensive, or recruit younger players from a level below. The key is getting it right.

Recruitment, as we are all aware, is not something Manchester United have been particularly good at for many years now. There is no quick fix here. It is going to take years for United to be really competitive at the top end of the league. But even with the current squad, they should not be where they are now.

Bodo/Glimt fan Anders Karlsen has a fear of flying so is "really proud" to have completed the massive drive to London for tonight's game with Tottenham.

"This is the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life really," he told 5 Live Breakfast earlier.

"The reason behind my trip is actually mental health. Because of my anxiety I cannot take airplanes, I have lost a lot of my dreams – things that I have wanted to do but have not been able to because of my anxiety.

"So this trip is not only for me, it is also for everyone in the same situation as me. I want to show them everything is possible so whether the game goes this or that way, I don’t know… I just know we’re going to thrash Tottenham next Thursday so hopefully we get a good result tonight and we go through to the final."

But if Bodo/Glimt do make it to the final in Bilbao, Anders says there is "no chance" he will make the journey all the way to Spain.
