Mauricio Pochettino was “disappointed” with Tottenham’s exit to Fiorentina, especially after missing a sitter.
The first leg ended 1-1 in London and this evening the Viola emerged 2-0 winners, though Roberto Soldado’s under-hit pass wasted a golden opportunity.
“We are all disappointed, the player, too. It is normal,” Pochettino told reporters.

“We are all disappointed, the player, too. It is normal,” Pochettino told reporters.
“This one was the first final for us and all players are disappointed, but now we need to look forward. It is impossible to change the game now.
“It is true that it was key, this action. You need some luck to score sometimes if you are to win the games. It is true that the second half we made some mistakes and we take a risk and Fiorentina scored.
“We did not score and, if we want to analyse the game, it is easy: Fiorentina scored, we didn't score and in football you don't score it is difficult to win games. You only deserve to go through to the next round if you score and they scored more goals than us.
“We played well and dominated the game, but this is football. It is easy to explain as we saw tonight.”
