Tottenham Hotspur has once again been disappointed by those unpleasant nights in the Champions League that ‘Spurs’ fans were used to and this time transformed into. a dull and gray encounter far from returning to Milan (0-0), who returned to the quarterfinals after eleven years and stood shoulder to shoulder with the best in Europe.

It will be 16 years without Tottenham winning a single trophy.They lost all competitions in March and their only incentive is to smash into fourth place in the already weak Premier League due to Liverpool’s pursuit.

Even this sad and premature elimination could put an end to Antonio Conte’s time in north London. A love that never came to fruition as the Italian player failed to make his mark on the ‘Spurs’, a lot nurtured on offense but little on defence.

With the cold and rain worsening in England’s capital this Wednesday, Tottenham believed it would be enough for their fans and their ball to pass. Milan, who scored a remarkable 1-0 in the first match. and playing to lock the whole game.

There they saw the static shortcomings of a Tottenham waiting for it. kane a light bulb burned out or what son of heung mincertainly had a spark of grace in his worst season in London.

That was the desire of the players, the fans understood that at least a burst of pride, a constant siege, the sheer persistence of the Italians would fall. If the Milanese were to be crouching throughout the match, scoring a goal and pushing extra time would have been the minimum required for the Londoners.

Then they were shocked the best chance of the match was for the italians, always comfortable in the role of martyr. A mistake by Messias from an undefeated position and a good save by Forster, just a few points away from the fireproof Giroud, brought Tottenham’s fantasy closer to ending much sooner.

The elimination wasn’t complete until Clement Turpin blew the final whistle, but Tottenham were a living dead on the pitch for over 20 minutes.. With a shot from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, well saved by Maignan, and a head deflected by Kane, any hint of a comeback quickly cut him off. Cristian Romero ejected after rough handling of Theo Hernández.

The spirit of the ‘Spurs’ has dropped to the point of depression and it has only elevated him. A save from Maignan three minutes after the end. With pure instinct and reflex, the French goalkeeper deflected a header from Kane. A stop worth a draw and it’s Eliminate Tottenham in the round of 16 for the third time in their last four games in the Champions League.

Eleven years later, Milan returns to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. He feels great again and prefers a title that has resisted him since 2007..
