Again, the Champions League is meant to be this Wednesday a big disappointment for Tottenham, this time because he couldn’t get past the round of 16 after being eliminated by Milan (0-0 in the second leg, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and 1-0 in the first leg, at San Siro). Meanwhile, Milan, the club that won the most Champions after Real Madrid (seven, 1962-1963, 1968-1969, 1988-1989, 1989-1990, 1993-1994, 2002-2003 and 2006-2007), returns to the quarterfinals after an 11-year absence.
Spurs lost their golden opportunity on June 1, 2019, at the Metropolitano, when, led by Mauricio Pochettino, they crashed out in the final against Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool (2-0). Tottenham aren’t the only ones hurting in Europe. It is that they have not won a title since the 2007-09 League Cup, despite the fact that, led by Harry Kane and a great generation of players, they have had great seasons.
Spurs are dreaming, boosted by the return of their coach, Antonio Conte (after recovering from a gallbladder intervention), on Wednesday’s return to London the goal of Brahim Díaz, but they did not succeed.
Milan knows how to be pragmatic to enter the quarterfinals. And Mike Maignan, their goalkeeper, became a hero in the 94′ with a great save from a Harry Kane header. On the other hand, Milan, who lived through the long journey in the desert, feel that the Champions League is smiling on them again.
