Olympique Marseille defender Chancel Mbemba says the players were floored by their Champions League defeat to Tottenham.
OM are out of Europe after the 2-1 defeat, though would've qualified for the Europa League with a draw.
Mbemba lamented: "On the pitch we didn't know it, but on the bench people knew it well.
"There was no communication. So we're angry that it happened in the end, but we didn't know.
"It's our mistake."
