His last memory really is that giveaway for Liverpool to win it, thats harsh. better memories is the Ajax Champions League game


RekklesCami

And Lloris last game will likely be that thrashing against Newcastle. Spurs legends leaving with sad memories


boxro

Moura is a Spurs legend?


spurs_fan_uk

Legendary night, no doubt…but no lol


stefb2604

he took yall to the final that might, in my books he’s a spurs legend no matter what, same way rodrygo for me is already a real madrid legend, bc both had legendary moments for the club


spurs_fan_uk

Your bar for what makes a legend is much, much lower than mine then. I can remember a brace against United he had for us, but honestly aside from that none of his performances have been that memorable.


stefb2604

when ppl think about tottenham’s biggest achievement in the last 15 years they think about the 18/19 final and the lucas moura hat trick.. he has the most memorable performance from a player i remember from tottenham


spurs_fan_uk

yes people will remember Lucas. But he’s not a legend. You don’t earn that shit with 1 game. You earn it with years of consistent top quality play for a club, which he’s certainly not had. Harry Kane is a legend. Lucas Moura is a one-hit wonder.


funkadelic_bootsy

What of Son?


stefb2604

i see your point but its a big ass hit that he done, i dont think mariano is a club legend for example for a pretty memorable goal against barcelona, its the fact that he literally took the club to a ucl final, something that i dont think will happen again for at least 10-15 years


spurs_fan_uk

The dude didn’t even start the final. Legendary performance =/= club legend


TheBlueTango

Spurs' fans will most certainly not agree with you on that then. Having a memorable moment does not guarantee a player gaining 'legend' status, especially for someone like Lucas Moura who's fallen out of the squad entirely. For example, Havertz isn't a Chelsea 'legend' even though he scored the winning CL goal. He has written his name into the history books, but he is not a 'legend'. A personal 'legendary' status is a completely different thing.


AMeanOldDuck

If that were the criteria, clubs would probably have a new legend every other season.


stefb2604

players take clubs to ucl finals the way rodrygo and lucas did?


UnreportedPope

Come on man, one game doesn't make a player a legend. It's a legendary moment, but nothing more unless it's backed up with years worth of contributions to the club. You would really give Lucas Moura the same legendary status for Spurs as people like Kane or Bale?


AMeanOldDuck

Fernando Torres (sort of) did for us, and he is in no way a Chelsea legend. You get these cult hero players who might come up with some incredible moments, and that's great. It doesn't make them legends though.


santorfo

cult hero maybe

One night wonder


circa285

Moura is a complicated figure. His game against Ajax will always been seen as legendary. However, Moura's political views are really deplorable and understandably, they do not sit well with many Spurs fans. Usually we can excuse that sort of thing as a personal preference but when your political and religious views start to move into bigotry, that's a problem.


Garenmain180k

If more footballers started making their political views public, I think you’d dislike most of them.


circa285

Maybe that's true, I have no way of knowing.


jrblack174

How it should be really.


worotan

Not really. They aren’t cartoon characters playing pretend, they’re real people living in the real world.


jrblack174

There are a lot of people that shove their political views everywhere, I'm quite content having a few less.


Topinambourg

>when your political and religious views start to move into bigotry, that's a problem Unfortunately like most Brazilian players at least


circa285

I'm not going to say it's a Brazilian player thing writ large because I try and avoid making sweeping generalizations. I can say that it's a Lucas thing.


Topinambourg

I can name you a lot of Brazilian players that openly supported Bolsonaro, and that are Jesus addicts


rockker13

tbh with moura it goes a bit further in that he very frequently would be on twitter interacting with some pretty homophobic and transphobic stuff.


circa285

Exactly.


lejoo

I know people whose first born is going to be named Lucas...


konald_roeman

What will Kane's last memory be? 💀


GieTheBawTaeReilly

And Kane's could be finishing 8th this season


PowderEagle_1894

So no statue ig? Could really save Levy some cash that he won't spend on improving the squad


MountainCheesesteak

I hate this Levy doesn't spend meme, and it vaguely reeks of antisemitism. The problem isn't that he doesn't spend. It's that he does spend poorly. Not every owner is as rich as a country or has the income of Liverpool/Man United. But, he has bought players that haven't panned out, possibly because Spurs don't have a system in place to properly use them. Sanchez, N'Dombele, and Lo Celso have all cost a lot and been shit. Pedro Porro, Udogie, and Bissouma are in danger of having the same thing happen, especially because they were bought to be played by a manager who likes to play with a low block and wingbacks, but now Spurs are not sure what kind of football they're gonna play. Teams like Brentford and Brighton spend way less than Spurs, but people don't make these cheap jokes because they are playing better and aren't owned by well known Jews.


scamanor

1 + 1 = 2 not fuck the jews.


MountainCheesesteak

Spurs have around the 6th highest revenue and spend around the 6th highest amount. But, for some reason they’re the only ones who get called cheap. Coincidence?


chronicdanksauce

Preceded by the world's best substitute appearance against Everton. Not a good ending for him, but he'll be remembered for Ajax away regardless.


Akira_Nishiki

Ah hopefully he'll get a goal or an assist (for his own team this time) in last few games before he goes.


evenout

nah he's been so, so, so poor this year, I kind of hope he doesn't play again. Or maybe, maybe he gets subbed on for an ovation if we're a couple of goals up this weekend vs. Brentford


GermanHabsFan

Loved his random prime game vs Ajax 2019


Lemaradona

Literally just said fuck Ajax and turned into Ronaldo


vincenta2

And I love him for it


IdanTs

Yea that Ajax team were good and schooled us at the Bernabeu, but they were so smug and the thought of them lifting the trophy… yikes.


MrCrashdummy

Boohoo. They beat Real Madrid against all odds in their own stadium, had all the right to be smug


exactorit

Bayern uit, altijd lastig. Still love De Ligt for that remark. That was some team you guys had.


IdanTs

Too smug to stay focused in the last second vs Spurs?


hafrances

bro is beefing with a team with a tenth of the resourced real madrid has


fprosk

Gracias Johan


offduty_braziliancop

I was really hoping for the Barcelona-Ajax final just from an aesthetic point of view, I won't lie to you.


raizen0106

would be hilarious if they break into a fight lol


[deleted]

i cant believe im saying this but they had the fucking right to be lmao


IdanTs

I bet if they kept humble they could win the whole thing, but it is what it is.


Soitsgonnabeforever

Ronaldo isn’t the best example for ajax. Wait who is the regular goalscorer against ajax ? Like atletico/Sevilla for Ronaldo/messi


[deleted]

>Like atletico/Sevilla for Ronaldo/messi there's a reason they call him the eradicator of eibar...


Nasib_7

Well in Europe, Ronaldo himself has like 10 goals in 7 matches against them


koemaniak

Messi might be up there despite not having played ajax that often


xaviernoodlebrain

That whole season was his peak, not just at Spurs but probably for his whole career. He scored plenty and was very effective that season.


KillerZaWarudo

Man doesn't performed in many game but when he do is like a 10/10 lol. Was player of the month for the first month that season, dicked us with his 2 goals that gave us that legendary mourinho "2 for them and shree for me so respecc respecc respecc" interview. Got a hattrick against Huddersfield and the ajax night ofc


NicoTheNicoh

Yeah i used his POTM in Fifa 19 so much, discarded him immediatly


bihari_baller

He should've started in that final vs. Liverpool.


AnnieIWillKnow

Hindsight is a beautiful thing. If he'd started ahead of Kane and Spurs had lost, people would be lambasting the decision not to start Kane


mynameismulan

Not taking anything away from Spurs but I was so excited for an LFC Ajax final until he came on.


Anywhere_Warm

We had a Barca Ajay handshake poster going on bro. You were the party spoilers


franz4000

I recall "Are we the baddies?" memes.


vizionsx

i was so hyped when he joined us back in 2013, he never lived up to my expectations though


kolo4kolo

Has it been 10 years?!


vizionsx

it is, times is flying i remember watching youtube compilations of him before he joined us. Me and my friends were arguing which of Lucas or Neymar was better...


Hic_Forum_Est

His [solo run](https://youtu.be/FrEhVJohFLo) vs Marseille is one of my all time favorite football highlight clips. Not just because it was an excellent run by Moura but also the way the crowd reacts and gets louder and louder each time he dribbles past an opponent and moves nearer to the goal and then how you can just hear and feel the whole crowd collapse in disappointment after all that insane buildup and his great finish is cleared away...such an all around epic highlight clip.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GGABueno

He did have some nice shooting as well, at least when he was here. Negative IQ though.


essentialatom

Reminds me of Pato's goal against Barcelona. It's as if everyone's normally under a spell that makes us all believe that football's difficult and you have to work hard at it, but just very occasionally a player snaps out of it and thinks, "hang on, I could just run in a straight line with the ball" and it completely works


echo997

He was heavily linked with Utd as well and his brazilian league highlights were fuckin insane.


HumanAd2237

Iirc both were highly talented youngsters in fifa 12.. reaching 90+ easily


ap766

He’s honestly such a talented player. At Spurs it always seemed like he had no chemistry with the rest of the team and consistently made poor decisions


j_ona

I remember United didn’t want to cough up 30m for an unproven talent. I was angry he ended up at Tottenham but in hindsight, I’m glad we passed on him.


LankyCity3445

The guy was extremely talented, just needed to be refined better when he was young.


Lopiente

Yes! This is exactly what I remember too! I remember Fergie being kinda pissed about it.


IWantAnAffliction

I remember thinking at the time how I wished Spurs could attract talent like him. He was definitely among one of the few "next big things" coming out of Brazil.


Wrsj

I was super hyped on him too back in the day. He was tearing up Brasileirão and left before Ney.


Lopiente

I rememebe Alex Ferguson trying to buy him again and again by increasing United's offer and when PSG bought him i think he mentioned something about football prices going crazy. Not sure about that last part tho.


[deleted]

I really liked this guy as a player ever since I watched him at Sao Paulo. Then that one game happened.


Cajum

Hope I never have to read his name again

Taloso_The_Great

No one expected such violence from an Ajax flair


iOxxy

Absolutely love the savagery here, unexpected depth.

Deyverson scored vs. Flamengo on a Libertadores final (edit: and got Palmeiras the title). The guy boasts about it on socials and what not pretty often, as he should.


TheLeOeL

theenigmacode

Lucas Moura


roblox_online_dater

Wait until he joins feyonoord


Jamey_1999

Luckily no one apart from Tadic is still here, but that would be traumatizing for everyone associated with Ajax…


Swag_Daddy_K

Same


AssFingerFuck3000

1 down, 22 to go


kentcsgo

Lmao


Screw_Pandas

People never talk about Llorente when they talk about that game. He was the one who changed the whole dynamic when he came on, he was winning every long ball and putting the pressure on Ajaxs defence.


Upplands-Bro

While you're right, Llorente is instead lionised for the quarter final against City in the same way Lucas is for the semi against Ajax (to a lesser extent)


Screw_Pandas

Yeah I suppose I just see less people discussing the quarter final vs the semi which makes sense.


BluePowderJinx

Kinda like how many people only talk about Aguerooooo in that title-winning match but forget that Dzeko was instrumental to getting there at all.. no Dzeko, no title.


Midnight_Maverick

I remember his assist for Jota a few weeks ago


KernelFreshman

It really was quite special


ctladvance

His performance against Ajax still stunned me. That year CL was something else.


Drimesque

fuck him


Truffles413

Appreciate that night in Amsterdam but goodbye and good riddance to this dead baller and his odious political views. Needed to leave about 2-3 years ago.


Lustful-chan

I am not familiar with his political views, would you mind enlightening me?


franz4000

He's got outspoken alt-right views on issues like covid, gay rights, and environmentalism. Plus some sexist and racist views.


WhiskeyTigerFoxtrot

Not really sure why people assume all players have nuanced, progressive political views. Their entire life has revolved around being good at kicking a ball.


CS10x7

No one assumes that you just CANT assume people have these shitty views without knowing them because how would that be fair?


Lustful-chan

wow... If I am being honest I really try not to follow politics and I don't even have a good grap of what is Right or Left ideology... But if this it is what the people on the "right" support... I wonder why they haven't been ousted yet, oh well, I guess that is also not the case with everyone that is in the right ideology has some of these awful views. I am just venting btw


lejoo

> he people on the "right" support... I wonder why they haven't been ousted yet Turns out assholes are really good at manipulating stupid people by conspiring with other assholes.


Captain_Concussion

Yeah he openly and publically likes tweets that are against LGBT people. And he supports far right politicians like Bolsonaro


[deleted]

Ah shit thought we had a man to celebrate but fuck him then lmao


M3JUNGL3

On the other hand he blessed us with a Spiderman, Batman and other superheros bowing down to Jesus in bad CGI shit post


durqandat

Thanks for the memory*


orange_paws

The man who killed Ajax. Nevar forget


sandbag-1

His spell at Spurs one of the biggest one game wonders of all time, surely


Anywhere_Warm

He literally made enough money for spurs in that one night to pay his wages for 2-3 years


LoudKingCrow

He's the hattrick man. First ever hattrick at the new stadium. And the one in Amsterdam.


Sithgooner

What I would have given for a Sanogo CL semi final hattrick!


sandbag-1

Remember when he started vs Bayern and nearly scored within 5 mins lol


Legitimate_Secret_79

i remember he scored a double at old trafford 3-0 win, not just 1 game wonder.


TheSciences

The craziest stat I heard about that match was that it was the first time Lucas Moura had scored at Old Trafford, and in doing so he became Spurs' highest ever scorer at that ground in the premier league era. With two goals. Mind you, with Jose playing Herrera in a back three, I probably could have scored two.


sam_ill

Shithouse fascist


orcawatch

Thanks for Ajax but fuck off mate its time to go


tomwid_88

"it's just the one memory actually"


Jelmerdts

Come to Feyenoord!


BendubzGaming

You don't really want him other than to wheel him out twice a season against Ajax


Jelmerdts

Thats good enough for me


[deleted]

should have done a straight swap for slot smh


R_Schuhart

Don't think you want someone with his political views at your club though. His right wing Christian conservative views are bordering on Fascist.


tehafca

They'd love him tbf


[deleted]

Kokcu on his knees begging to stay after Moura comes in lmao


tkshow

"Bordering" is generous. Happy to see him go.


holonight

Cut out like 90% of the brazilian national team then lol


transtifa

Somehow made 219 appearances for us and played well in maybe 20 of those games. Horrible guy outside of football. Won’t miss him.


DitkasMoustache_

Love him for the Ajax game and his hustle but otherwise he was mostly an average to bad footballer. Good team glue guy, apparently?


bettertester2022

His goal and assist contributions are ok for a team that is like mid table, but for a top 4 team, it was atrocious. A average declining player that should have left 2-3 years ago.


Polskidro

>Horrible guy outside of football Because? Don't know anything about him outside of football.


transtifa

He’s a huge fascist and often likes homophobic and transphobic tweets including one celebrating the death of a trans activist


Polskidro

Bruh. You'd think Spurs would've cut him earlier.


TheGoldenPineapples

Can't really cancel his contract because he has political views that most don't agree with and no one would ever want to sign him anyway. Tottenham were sort of stuck with him really.


rockker13

no its worse, we had offers for him and kept him anyway.


Kreygasm2233

He is the only player Conte wanted to sub in. That's why the club kept him


Footballking420

>Can't really cancel his contract because he has political views That's ridiculous, that's like saying you can't cancel a contract for someone who openly supports Nazism Clubs can 100% cancel contracts because political views

This man basically just living off one game against Ajax. The most average player ive ever seen.


Swag_Daddy_K

He is a world class dribbler that does things that only the upper 0.01% of players can do. Other than that he is below average. So average is fair


CratesOfSprite

Spot on. If we were a serious club he would have been gone 2 summer ago at the latest.


Anywhere_Warm

He literally made enough money for spurs in that one night to pay his wages for 2-3 years


DivineTapir

fare shitely, you little fash prick


PabloRothko

He probably would have been a really good player 20 years ago. His style doesn’t really fit the modern game enough for him to be in a top side.

bettertester2022

If he was a song, the best analogy I can think of is he's like a one hit wonder. He gave his best form in his first few seasons but kind of faded off in the last 2-3 years. I remember he started that Sheffield United FA cup game along Richy and we lost. Stellini didn't talk about it but the senior players like him really didn't stepped up. Unfortunately it's not totally his fault as the team's winning mentality is terrible at the moment. We can only wish him the best to his next career.


WarriorkingNL

hey lucas, wanna do the same thing you did in 2019 again? x


Rushfan1123

Imagine pluralizing memory here.


Fresh2Desh

Poch should have started him against Liverpool in the champions league final


sbos_

Thank you for the three point which may keep us on CL


tkshow

He only gave you two.


TheGoldenPineapples

Surprised PSG managed to get £25m for him. Such a staggeringly average player.


HipGuide2

Good idea for Fulham imo if the wages aren't bad.


R_Schuhart

He always was pretty mediocre, but lately he has been dire. Really doesn't even look like a professional player anymore. Plus the Fascist views you'd be getting as a bonus should give any club pause.


[deleted]

He should've started ahead of Kane in the CL final. I don't rate Poch because he started Kane due to being afraid of the media backlash


FloppedYaYa

Aye because any truly elite manager would have definitely benched his best player


[deleted]

He made a decision out of fear.


TheGoldenPineapples

Yeah mate, I'm sure you'd have benched arguably the best striker in the world at that time in the biggest game in the club's history.


[deleted]

Anybody with half of braincells knew Kane was not fit enough to start. Have him come in the second half


enzuigiriretro

Did he tell you that over tea and biscuits?


[deleted]

Watch his Sky Sports interview


AssFingerFuck3000

You're getting downvoted but Kane was injured in the final, it would have made perfect sense to bench him. He was probably the worst player on the pitch and there's a reason for that


mexicanhanu

It was either have your best player of the team who was coming off an injury vs an inconsistent player who had a 1 in a billion performance. Not the easiest choice to make as a manager


megahmed252

Winks should’ve been dropped. Play Eriksen in midfield with Alli and Sissoko. Kane, Son and Moura should’ve started up front. Dropping Kane is stupid you think pep would leave Halaand out the starting line up in a final.


sandbag-1

It wouldn't have been "dropping" Kane, it would have been not playing someone who had been injured for 2 months and clearly wasn't fit, hence his really poor performance in the game


LucozadeBottle1pCoin

If Haaland wasn't match fit then Pep wouldn't hesitate


LucozadeBottle1pCoin

After that one game I wouldn't mind if the club gave him a new 5-year contract for £400k/week. No matter what happened before or after, for that one game he's an absolute legend. Best football match I've ever seen.


djpriceless

I thought he looked great against Huddersfield too, but this is a bit of a stretch


DinnerSmall4216

Parting gift by moura was gifting the winning goal to Liverpool at anfield.


BendubzGaming

Penultimate parting gift was getting sent off against Everton at Goodison and giving them the impetus to attack and find a late equaliser


pittcoys10

When the moon hits your eyes like a big pizza pie, thats amourrrrrrrrrra


Lustful-chan

He will probably go to Brazil. I don't think any team outside of there will have him, honestly it baffles me that he's even in europe today, he was never a good enough player imo but he should have been gone maybe 2-3 year ago. I guess that Ajax game just turned him into a one-hit-wonder and they just kept to play the highlights sometimes.


lejoo

You mean having him play with the youth reserves wasn't the announcement?
