We deserved Champions League win more than Liverpool, says angry Moussa Sissoko as Tottenham prepare to face Manchester United in Shanghai
- Former Newcastle man has hit peak form for Tottenham and is back in the France national team
- Will play against Manchester United in Shanghai on Saturday
“Angry, I was very angry,” explained Tottenham Hotspur’s Moussa Sissoko when asked how he felt after the Champions League final defeat by Liverpool. “You are in the final to win, not to play. Even if it wasn’t a great game from both teams, I think we deserved more than Liverpool to win this final, but unluckily for us we didn’t win. None of us were happy, but that’s football and we have to learn from it.
“I’m sure everyone was still thinking about this final for a few weeks, but we have to move on. We have to have objectives for the new season.”
Like a trophy?
“We have to try and get something at the end of the season because this team has been building for a long time but hasn’t won anything,” he said. “It is the time to win something.
“We had a great season last year, especially in the Champions League. We needed to be more consistent in the Premier League, but the Champions League run was amazing. In the beginning, nobody expected us to get to the final, but we showed character and qualities. We deserved to get there. We want to keep going as we have been. We know we have quality, we have a strong team and we have added more quality in the team.”
