Piers Morgan is a lifelong Arsenal fan so you can only imagine how he must have been feeling watching north London rivals Tottenham stun Ajax to reach their first ever Champions League final.
Spurs trailed 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate after goals from Matthijs De Ligt and Hakim Ziyech put the Dutch side in control at the Johan Cryuff ArenA, much to the delight of the Good Morning Britain host.

Piers Morgan had to watch Spurs reach the Champions League final
On Twitter, Morgan, 54, messaged Spurs fan and former chairman Alan Sugar; ‘OOPS. 2-0. You OK, Shuggsy.’
However, a miraculous fightback, led by Lucas Moura, was completed deep into added time when the Brazilian slotted home his hat-trick and seal an away goals victory, sparking amazing scenes in Amsterdam.

Morgan went through the range of emotions over the course of 90 minutes and his mood was clear for all to see, as he documented his ‘pain’ on social media.
He even managed to swallow his pride and phoned his dad, who happens to be a massive Spurs fan.
Spurs will meet Liverpool, who performed their own heroics to see off Barcelona 4-0 on Tuesday, in Madrid on June 1 and Morgan will be in the corner of Jurgen Klopp’s side, especially as he has a £10,000 bet riding on them to win with Lord Sugar, with the money going to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

‘Hey Piersy you must be sick do you still want the bet we win the CL 10k to GOSH’, before saying he could pay £5,000 instead if his faith was wavering. But Morgan remained confident, replying: ‘No. I bet you £10k to @GOSHCharity that Liverpool will win the Champions League.’
The day had begun with Morgan experiencing the simulated pain of childbirth on live TV and then had £650 worth of golf clubs nicked from his car.
