Hugo Lloris has stood by his criticism of Tottenham after their loss to Dinamo Zagreb.

The Spurs skipper said his team were a 'disgrace' after they lost 3-0 in Croatia, which saw them knocked out of the Europa League.

Lloris told Sky Sports on the reaction to his harsh criticism: "I heard, obviously, but I did not need to listen to the comments. As a captain, you have a responsibility to go in front of the camera after this big failure in the Europa League.

"It is a competition that we all said was a target for a trophy. To lose against Dinamo Zagreb is something, for me, that you cannot accept.

"It is not a lack of respect. It is just that when you have standards as a club, this ambition to win, and especially to fail in that way, after winning the first leg 2-0, it was just an honest statement on that.

"It was a way to share the responsibility. I am the first one to be guilty. But it is not only me. It is the players. It is the manager. It is the coaching staff. It is the club, you know?"

Despite his fury over the defeat, Lloris insists he is happy at the club.

"It has been nine years," he said.

"If I am still here it is because I really care about the club. Those things affect me as a professional and they affect me as a person."
