Spurs were crowned Audi Cup champions after beating Bayern Munich in the final on penalties 6-5 after playing to a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena.
Goals from Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen put the north London side 2-0 up, but Bayern were able to level the game with strikes from teenagers Jann-Fiete Arp and Alphonso Davies.
Paulo Gazzaniga ended up being the hero on the night as the Argentine keeper made two saves in the penalty shoot-out to see Spurs end their pre-season with a win against one of Europe’s elite and a piece of silverware.
Of course, the result was a pleasing one for Tottenham fans, and many of them took to social media to react to the penalty shoot-out win over Bayern.
Here is what some fans had to say on Twitter…
