As you well know, Sunday’s game against Manchester United wasn’t just Tottenham’s chance to secure second place in the league once and for all, but it was also the club’s last game at White Hart Lane.
Spurs, whose new stadium is still being built just around the corner, gave their home since 1899 a great farewell by beating José Mourinho’s men 2-1, and will play all of their home games next season at Wembley.
Considering how poorly Mauricio Pochettino and his players did there during this season’s Champions League campaign, a lot needs to be addressed if they are to repeat this year’s heroics in England’s biggest stadium, something which Hugo Lloris is very aware of.
Speaking to SFR Sport on Sunday, he said: “I’ve been at Tottenham for five years, and I’ve always found White Hart Lane unique. How close you are to the fans, the special atmosphere and it’s a pleasure to wear this shirt, to have done so here and to be the captain during the last game.
“Before moving, there’s a season to manage at Wembley, which won’t be straightforward, but Wembley is an important place in English football, and we’ll do our best to get our bearings to continue this invincibility at home.”
The Tottenham captain also took time to congratulate Harry Kane for his goal against Manchester United, which will stand as the club’s last one at White Hart Lane, because the striker ‘represents the future of the club’.
During the 118 years at White Hart Lane, Tottenham won 1101 games, drew 462 and lost 429, scoring 3981 goals and conceding 2325.
