Harry Winks reveals how he celebrated dramatic Champions League wins | OneFootball

Harry Winks wasn’t around for the tail end of the season as he opted to undergo groin surgery.

Though unable to participate in the dramatic Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals, Winks revealed how he experienced the thrilling second legs.

“It was difficult to watch the second leg against City, I was out and it was tough not to be part of it, especially after playing in the first leg,” Winks said.

“I had my friends around. I couldn’t watch it on my own!

“I sat there and as much as I was disappointed not to be out there with the team, my focus was on supporting the lads and hoping we’d get through.

“It was eventful to say the least! It all happened so quickly at the end. I had to watch the replay three or four times just to make sure Raheem Sterling’s late goal was offside.

“That was difficult for the heart rate! What an amazing night.”

Winks then described the moment he saw Lucas Moura’s third goal cross the line which sent Spurs to the Champions League final.

“I was working hard on my rehabilitation and I couldn’t travel out to Amsterdam,” he recalled. “It was just incredible. After Jan hit the crossbar (on 86 minutes) you begin to think ‘is this it?’

“But when the third goal went in I was up. Even though I wasn’t there, I felt like I was with them, jumping up and down in my living room.

“It’s a difficult situation, watching on TV from home, one of the toughest times of the season for me because I would have loved to have been out there, but I knew I couldn’t be.

“The most important thing is that we got through. What a performance!”

Tottenham and Liverpool will face off in Madrid on 1 June.
