Spurs have an almighty task to overcome if they are to advance into the next round of the Champions League.Jose Mourinho’s side were defeated 1-0 by RB Leipzig on Wednesday evening meaning the Bundesliga outfit carries a crucial away goal into the second leg, which will be played out in a few weeks time.During the match, former striker Gary Lineker tweeted his thoughts on their performance with high acclaim being handed to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
The French shot-stopper put in a phenomenal display during the first half as his goal was peppered with 12 shots, in comparison to Spurs’ feeble attempt of three at the other end of the pitch.
He will feel hard done by as only a second-half Timo Werner penalty was the difference between the two sides.
Lloris is the club captain and was a frequent presence under ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino, playing 229 times under his stewardship during an eight-year association with the club, but this campaign, the veteran has only been able to play 15 matches due to injury.
But it’s clear to see his role in the side is still as integral as ever after Lineker’s Man of the Match remarks.
