'Booed off and booted out' - National media slam Tottenham after toothless Champions League exit

Tottenham were knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage by AC Milan after losing 1-0 on aggregate. Spurs knew they had to score at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday evening to have any chance of advancing, but Antonio Conte's men put in a drab attacking and toothless display ending the game with ten men and just two shots on target.

Spurs were coming into the game off the back of two disappointing results against Sheffield United in the FA Cup and Wolves in the Premier League. A significant fixture under the lights was the perfect opportunity for Spurs to give themselves something to fight for this season, but once again they fell short.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had Spurs' first shot on target around the hour mark before Mike Maignan clawed away a late Harry Kane header. In between those two chances, Cristian Romero was sent for a second bookable offence to make Spurs' task even harder.
