The South African football fraternity was amazed with the Uefa Champions League semi-final results, just like millions of fans from around the world.

In this epic collection of Tweets after two dramatic semi-finals, we take a look at comments from South African Premier Soccer League players, coaches, legends, clubs and the media.
Ajax Cape Town were clearly hurt by Tottenham Hotspur's late winner against their other half in Amsterdam.

Then there's the majority of neutrals and fans who believe these results were the ideal example of the beauty, emotion and never-give-up ideals of the game of football.
Liverpool lost 3-0 to Barcelona away from home, but then put four goals past the Spanish champions at Anfield. Spurs were 3-0 down on aggregate and turned the tie around in the second half of the second leg on Ajax's own ground.
