Ajax midfielder Dusan Tadic: Spurs defeat left me in tears

Ajax midfielder Dusan Tadic admits their Champions League defeat to Tottenham left him in tears.

Spurs knocked the Dutch side out with a last gasp goal from Lucas Moura to reach next Saturday's Champions League final against Liverpool .

Having been so close to another historic night in the club's history, Tadic and co were left distraught.

The former Southampton midfielder told Ajax Life: "This was a fantastic season, we became increasingly hungry. Ajax made the Champions League exciting. We deserved to play the final.

"You know, when I'm disappointed, I like to cry. Surrendering yourself to the emotion. Then you get it all out of your body.

"When I got home, I turned on some sad Serbian music and sat on the couch. Then I went to bed. I think I seriously cried every hour that night. When I saw my children the next morning that also helped."
