It really wasn’t Spurs’ night in Madrid. After a crazy start to the game with a penalty being awarded to Liverpool within the first 30 seconds, Liverpool didn’t have to get out of second gear. Liverpool were comfortable both in and out of possession and were cruising for the full 90 minutes. Their whole team was filled with confidence and looked determined to right their wrongs from this time last year in Kiev.
Spurs seemed to come into the game in the final 15 minutes but with Harry Kane off the pace and Allison equal to Son’s late shots on goal, Spurs could not turn it around this time.
However there as positives to take from this for Spurs. They are in the exact same position as Liverpool were last year; both in the league and in this final. With the right investment and attitude, Tottenham could be back in the Champions League final sooner rather than later.
