Pochettino reveals how Tottenham can close gap to title rivals
Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham must learn from the pain of losing the Champions League final if they want to compete this season.
Spurs were beaten 2-0 in Madrid by Liverpool in their first ever European Cup final last month, and also finished fourth in the Premier League after their title challenge faded badly in the second half of the season.
The north London side have responded by finally making some moves in the transfer market, with Tanguy Ndombele arriving from Lyon for a club-record fee.
But despite the French midfielder’s signing, Pochettino – who was speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News at the British GP – believes Spurs still have work to do before the season begins next month.
He said: “Of course you are always disappointed when you don’t win. We always expect to win.
“I think the season was unbelievable. I congratulate Liverpool but you always feel disappointed. You need to learn from the pain when you are not able to win.
“For [Liverpool and City] the challenge is to keep the level and for us the challenge is to reduce the gap.
“It’s a massive challenge to reduce the gap. We will see what happens. They were so strong and with great quality. The Premier League is the most competitive league.”
