Tottenham ace Eriksen admits: We're lucky to be in Madrid

Tottenham ace Christian Eriksen admits they've rode their luck to reach the Champions League final.

Eriksen concedes they're fortunate to be facing Liverpool on Saturday.

Speaking ahead of the clash with Liverpool in Madrid tomorrow, the Danish playmaker said: “I don't know if it's destiny. I think at the moment we've just been lucky!

“First of all, with the City game, with Sterling, I thought we were out. Gone.

“Then Ajax was a bit different because it was during the game. There was no waiting or standing around. It was just Lucas pops up at the right time. It was nerve-wracking and it was dramatic. We're just happy we were on the right side.

“A lot has happened. In the group stage, after three games we were a bit far behind. Things changed and going into the other games in the knockout stages they were intense.

“There were a lot of ups and downs, it was very exciting as a fan. But a bit unnerving."
