José Mourinho still believes in the qualification of Spurs in the quarterfinals of the C1. - Shaun Brooks / Action Plus / REX / SIPA

Last year's finalist is already on the ropes. Just beaten at home by Leipzig after being walked on for an hour, Tottenham can even thank Hugo Lloris for being alive in this double confrontation. The captain of the Blues has released three monstrous displays to preserve a semblance of suspense before the return match in Germany.

"This is the result. 1-0 is 1-0, not 10-0, the result remains open. We would not be the first team to lose the first leg at home 1-0 and then qualify, wanted to positive Mourinho. What keeps me confident is the spirit, the mentality of my players, who they are, not only as players, but above all as guys and as a group. It's a fantastic group of players. I'm so proud of my players and one thing I can tell you about the Champions League and the next match against Leipzig, one thing I can guarantee is that even if I don't know with whom (in the team), we will go there to fight. "

Voluntary words which do not mask an overwhelming reality. Deprived of Son and Kane on Wednesday, The Special one no longer has a lot of offensive assets up its sleeve to hope to change the fate. Above all, the Portuguese begin to trail the expiration date in Europe. He no longer crossed a knockout round from the shin of Demba Ba against PSG. In 2014.
