Champions League - Round of 16

Chiellini draws the short straw and has to be interviewed by Tony O’Donoghue. And then just when he’s in a lovely passionate rant about the mentality of the team, Tony interrupts to ask if Juve should have had a penalty. A truly dreadful broadcaster.

And Dier and the two full backs

Agreed . Ben Davies is a good bit of stuff but lacks a bit . Ditto triippier . Dier no where near the level and Alli hasn’t any real pace . Think Spurs will learn from tonight but will the manager be there long term ??

I must say I like them as a side . Not a fan by any stretch but they are ok . I like that Juventus team but I think they might be like Mayo in that their chance may have passed .

Not a big club

Chiellini with a great interview on BT Sport. In jovial spirits, laughing as he says Spurs basically always finds a way to lose in their history and then sheds a couple of tears for his departed colleauge. What a man.

Sutton seething over this comment on the radio. Crass and out of order says Sutty.

Ah you couldnt see Juve win it this year. Spurs wouldn’t have had a hope either, in fact it may have been a Pyrrhic victory cc @Cicero_Dandi as progress may have harmed their top 4 aspirations,

I can’t see Juventus win it either . They are average enough tbh .

Yeah its a good thing to go out of the Champions League so they can focus all their efforts on getting into the Champions League

That’s the way it’s going alright now

You would think that a team with good movement would destroy them.

Spurs wouldn’t have won the tournament if they had advanced tonight but its a fairly galling defeat that has the capacity to derail the season. Imperative to win at Bournemouth on Saturday and win the FA Cup as well. Pochettino has always had a sniffy attitude to the FA Cup. I wouldn’t be that pushed either way as to whether Pochettino is there next season.

That’s what Real Madrid did last season. I think Barca could be a good draw for them again, not much pace there

Yes . good full backs vital too .

That depends on who his replacement is

Brendan Rodgers will have the choice between north london’s Big two .

I don’t think I’ve seen a worse performance at this stage of champs lge than Rabiot for PSG last night. .couldn’t handle being tackled and looked shell shocked…gave ball away so many times and his attempted clearance for madrid second goal was horrendous. .
