Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says reaching the Champions League semifinals is "destiny".
Pochettino was filmed showing raw emotion in the dressing room after his side's hugely dramatic win over Manchester City — achieved without injured star man Harry Kane — to reach a last-four showdown at the end of the month with Dutch outsiders Ajax.
He said: “Back in November, this was not our destiny. At the beginning of the season, nobody believed destiny was going to reward us. Five years ago [when he joined the north Londoners], nobody believed we would be here.
“Of course, I believe - but you need to work, to have the option to be rewarded. There is an energy there that helps the people that work. You need to work to be rewarded."
