Lucas Moura made bold prediction that Tottenham ‘could win the Champions League’ when he signed from Paris Saint-Germain

Lucas Moura made a stunning prediction Tottenham could win the Champions League when he signed for them in January 2018.

The 26-year-old scored a hat-trick in the second leg of their semi-final with Ajax to complete a remarkably comeback and has put them on track to achievie just that.

They will now face Liverpool in the final next month with a very realistic prospect of Moura fulfilling the prediction he made 18 months ago.

Spurs signed the Brazil international for £25million from Paris Saint-Germain and the club have not made another signing for the last two transfer windows.

His debut came in the 2-2 draw with Juventus last February in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, which they went on to lose.

The midfielder saw no reason why Spurs could not aim to win the competition.

He said: “Why not? The Champions League is the most difficult cup but I think we have the capacity to win. If we always think positive, always work hard.

“I think we [had] a big game against Juventus away. It’s not easy to score in Italy. I think we had a good result and the next game I am sure that we can win, that we can do a big game with our fans and to continue.

“I am 25 years old but I won a lot of experience with PSG and I can help Tottenham and I think we have a lot of quality, big players, great structure, and I think we can arrive at the end of the season with a trophy.

“It’s always important to win. Every player wants to win trophies and to make history and I am here to make history with my new friends, my new team-mates, and I believe [we can do] that. I think we can dream with the Champions League.”
