Antonio Conte has reiterated that Tottenham will need time and further investment before they are in a position to compete in the Champions League following Tuesday night's 0-0 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Conte stuck with the same side that slumped to a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Arsenal in the north London derby at the weekend, but they were unable to make amends against their stubborn hosts in Germany. Spurs did produce an improved performance, though, and had golden chances to clinch the points through Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min.
Tottenham invested heavily in the summer after clinching a top-four spot and a return to Europe's premier competition under Conte. However, the Italian has once again stressed that the Londoners are still not in a position to go toe to toe with Europe's elite.
