Tottenham hero Lucas Moura: 2 years ago I left Barcelona in tears

Tottenham ace Lucas Moura was delighted to leave Barcelona the hero last night.

Moura's equaliser secured a 1-1 draw which saw Spurs qualify for the Champions League round of 16.

Two years ago he was at the stadium and in the PSG team that lost to Barca, blowing a 4-0 first-leg lead to lose the second-leg 6-1 in the round of 16.

The Brazilian attacker said: "Two years ago at Camp Nou, the improbable happened and I left the stadium crying. It was almost the end of my career at PSG. Today on the same ground, the improbable still took place.

"I left crying with joy."
