Ajax manager Erik ten Hag was proud of his players after their stunning Champions League defeat to Tottenham.

Lucas Moura's hat-trick saw Spurs win 3-2 and into the final 3-3 on the away goals aggregate.

Ten Hag said: "We were so close, we had so deserved it, but that last second...

"I told the players in the break that it wasn't over yet, you could tell by the attitude of the Tottenham players. They still believed in it.

"When that ball hits the post from Hakim Ziyech, it's over and out for Spurs. But I can't blame anyone. We have had an incredible Champions League season and have grown a lot as a team. It is difficult to process."
