It as a historic night for Tottenham Hotspur. England's football club Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur reached the semifinals of the Champions League. Liverpool beat Portugal Club FC Porto by 4-1 in the second leg of the quarter-finals. In the first leg, he won 2-0.

At the same time, England's Manchester City defeated Tottenham by 4-3 in the second leg. The first leg was won by Tottenham 1-0. Together with both the matches, the score was 4-4. On the basis of Away goal, Tottenham reached the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, Liverpool will compete with Spain's Barcelona. He will play against Barcelona in 12 years. On the other hand, Tottenham's team will play against the Ajax club in the Netherlands. Tottenham reached the semi-finals for the second time.

Liverpool defeated Barcelona in 2007, Liverpool defeated Barcelona by 2-1 in the first leg of the pre-quarterfinals played in 2007. The second leg was won by Barcelona 1-0, but Liverpool's team reached the quarter-finals on the basis of Away goal.

Son Heung-min was the star for Tottenham in the first leg with the solitary goal and at the Etihad on Wednesday, he was at work again as he scored two goals in four minutes to get Tottenham in an advantageous position in the tie.

Both City and Spurs showed relentless energy throughout the match. There was a lot of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) drama, including City being denied a last-minute winner but this was a match of epic proportions.

Son Heung-min scored twice while Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva found the back of the net on either side of Son's goals to register four goals in just the first 11 minutes of the match.

That was the fastest four goals ever scored in a single Champions League match and it proved to be a spectacle that people will long talk about.

Raheem Sterling became the first England player to score two or more goals in a quarter-final match of the Champions League since Frank Lampard in 2009 vs. Liverpool. Not a bad company to have.
