Tottenham crashed out of the Champions League after their defeat 2-1 defeat to AS Monaco last night. Despite Hugo Lloris’ inspired performance, the Premier League side failed to impress at Stade Louis II, and are lucky that the scoreline remained 2-1.
Sissoko has been speaking to the French media (via L’Equipe), and pointed out Heung-Min Son’s missed opportunity early in the game made the difference.
He said: “It’s obviously a big disappointment. We came across a good team from Monaco… We could have done better. There was this opportunity for Heung-Min Son. If we had led 1-0, we could have managed better, and controlled the game better. Now, it is necessary to digest the defeat fast as on Saturday arrives a big match against Chelsea.”
Following their defeat to AS Monaco, Mauricio Pochettino’s team have 4 points from 5 matches, with a game left against CSKA Moscow. There’s no way of qualifying for the next round and the whole experience has been something of a disappointment for Spurs.
