London's team "Tottenham" could imagine that the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group matches against Munich's "Bayern" would be difficult, but the fact that Hugo Lloris would have to pull the ball out of his goal seven times in this match, hardly any of the players could have dreamed in their worst nightmare.
In yesterday's match, the "Spurs" team suffered their biggest defeat in a European tournament since 1995. The Bavarian hosts broke their opponents with a score of 7:2, converting almost all of their created opportunities with one hundred percent accuracy.
After the match, Mauricio Pochettino, who tried to explain what happened in the second half, couldn't clarify.
"I don't think I have enough time to explain what happened in these matches," said the coach to "BT Sport".
"I think we showed great football in the first 30 minutes - we were compact and pressed the opponents. We dominated in this segment of the match, but unfortunately, "Bayern" scored a goal in the last minute of the first half.
The score was 2:1, and later "Bayern" became even more aggressive and precise in their attack.
I am convinced that both teams made almost the same number of shots, but "Bayern" turned all their opportunities into goals and already after the first eight or nine minutes of the second half, the score was 4:1.
After narrowing the gap from the penalty spot, we had a chance to score a third goal, but at the very end of the match we were dealt a blow - in just five minutes, we conceded three more goals.
The result is disgraceful and it is especially difficult to accept, but in football, these things happen - when the opponent has quality in attack, they turn their opportunities into goals.
There is nothing else to say. We are extremely disappointed and crushed, but now the most important thing is to stay united. We need to stay together, recover both physically and psychologically, and on Saturday, go into a new battle," Pochettino expressed his thoughts with a stern face.
