MADRID (Reuters) - For many years Tottenham Hotspur were the butt of jokes from rival fans for falling just short of winning the big prizes, but they are now hoping Saturday's Champions League final will give them the perfect opportunity to have the last laugh.
Despite a rich history and one of the biggest fan bases in England, Tottenham have won only two trophies -- the domestic League Cup in 1999 and 2008 -- in the last two decades and until Mauricio Pochettino transformed their fortunes, they were renowned for their failures.
