Hugo Lloris believed Tottenham should have pushed more in front of Sporting CP's goal and that the team will have received a wake-up call from the 2-0 defeat in Lisbon.
The 35-year-old Spurs skipper was his club's best player on the pitch with some big saves, including a wonderful acrobatic effort that was quickly cancelled out by Paulinho's header from the resulting corner. Lloris was unhappy with the lack of focus shown by the team as Sporting scored twice in the final minutes to grab all three points.
"In the last few moments of the game, I believe that if you cannot win the game you do everything to not lose it. From this corner we have to focus to not concede this goal," he said. "There were some moments we managed well the game, other moments they had good chances. It was a Champions League game and in the end there is a lot of regret because we could have got something.
