"It's been a long time since the club won a trophy, so excitement is at its maximum. We know we need to be focused and work hard during the week as it's going to be a great game."

Richarlison played on the left against Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals, although he could also play just behind Dominic Solanke given Spurs will be without Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall. Asked if he has thought about scoring in the final, the forward said: "I think it's a dream just to be playing in the final. I hope to be able to score in the final as well, I have objectives to meet.

"Of course, this season hasn't been what I expected due to some injuries that have held me back a bit. I've experienced great moments in my career. I've won trophies with thee Brazilian national team.

"I've been decisive in many games. I think it will be a great game. I hope to go into it focused so that if the opportunity comes I'm in the right place to bring joy to all of us."
