Lucas Moura's eight iconic moments for Paris Saint-Germain, Sao Paulo, Tottenham Hotspur and Brazil
Lucas Moura celebrates at the final whistle after Tottenham Hotspur qualify for the 2019 Champions League final
Being responsible for one of the defining moments in European football history, Lucas Moura has had a highlight reel like no other. Here’s what the Brazilian has had to offer over the past decade.
Even before arriving at Tottenham, Moura earned his place at some of the biggest clubs in the world with the likes of Sao Paulo and PSG.
Today, his position in the squad under Jose Mourinho may be in flux, but here Planet Sport looks back on some of his finest hours.
Three of the best against Uruguay, 2011
Moura and co. put their neighbours to the sword, with the pacy winger notching three for himself, along with Danilo and a Neymar brace contributing to the 6-0 romp.
The then-18-year-old's second goal caught the attention of many, turning on the style by beating four defenders before firing in from an acute angle.
Hat-trick number two, 2012
Moura went on to add two more with a close range effort and a well-worked goal with team-mate Luis Fabiano to help his boyhood club to a 4-2 triumph away from home.
First goal for PSG vs Bordeaux, 2013
Just beating the offside trap, the agile wide man honed in on goal, fooled the 'keeper after teasing a cross and passed into an empty net.
While perhaps not at his most impactful in Paris, Moura won an astonishing 16 honours at the club in an era of domestic dominance.
Brace at Old Trafford, 2018
Leaving it late against Barca, 2018
Huddersfield hat-trick, 2019
His first hat-trick since arriving in England came in a routine win over Huddersfield, who propped up the table and could only muster a single shot on target in the match.
One night in Amsterdam…
The old adage of 'two buses coming at once' springs to mind in what was not only Moura's crowning moment, but perhaps the jewel in the crown of the Pochettino era at Tottenham.

Moura's second hat-trick in a month and his second for the club could not have come at a better time, trailing 3-0 on aggregate away to Ajax for a place in their first-ever Champions League final.
The ever-determined attacker took over from Dele Alli's penetrating run and finished past Andre Onana to spark the revival.
Super-sub showing against Man City, 2019
In a match-up filled with many story arcs, Moura's impact substitution at the scene of Spurs' dramatic progression to the Champions League semi-finals the season previous meant spoils were shared at the Etihad.
