Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is hoping for more tears of joy ahead of the Champions League final against Liverpool.

The Spurs boss was an emotional wreck following his side's astonishing comeback in the second leg of their semi-final against Ajax.

Pochettino said: “My mother says to me, 'You are a 'llorona', which means blubberer, a person who cries often and a lot.

“My mum always says, 'He's happy, he cries. He's sad, he cries. Come on — just stop crying!'.

“Sometimes it happens that I am taking my car to my house – it's 20 minutes from the training ground to Barnet – and listening to some music and that translates to some moment in my life.

“I start to cry, and when I arrive home my wife says, 'What happened?'.

“I say, 'Some music reminded me of a moment 30 years ago in Argentina', and she will say, 'You are crazy'.

“Films? Yes, I cry. Everything. If we win the Champions League, I don't know, maybe I'm going to cry for one week."
