"Yes, of course, in that moment I believed maybe we could turn the tide. It’s about trying to improve as a group and as a team and not giving the possibilities we gave to them in the first leg. You can then play better in the second leg but sometimes in football you pay for the first game," he said as quoted from Spurs TV.
