Tottenham Hotspur have made sure to qualify for the last 16 of the 2022/2023 Champions League. That was thanks to a 2-1 victory over Olympique Marseille in the final match of Group D, Wednesday, November 2, early morning WIB.
With that victory, Tottenham qualified as group winners. They were accompanied by Eintracht Frankfurt who was the group runner-up.
Tottenham's victory was dramatic. They fell behind before making a comeback. In addition, the Premier League club's winning goal was created in the 90+5 minute!
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris said talks in the dressing room successfully changed the team's performance.
"We spoke in the dressing room, then started the second half with a better and more aggressive character," Lloris was quoted as saying on the official UEFA website via Antara, Wednesday, November 2.
"Our performance in the second half was very good. Last night was a tough night marked by a great fight," he continued.
The French goalkeeper also considered that the mental change of the opponent after winning was also a factor in his team's victory. The opponent who appeared more cautious actually provided space and opportunity for Harry Kane and his friends.
"In the first half, Marseille played without fear of losing. In the second half, they were worried about losing a win. We showed a very strong character in the difficult period of the match," said the Tottenham Hotspur captain.
