Afterwards, an exhausted Luis Enrique said: "I'm so tired that I don't know if I can speak French properly...

"But to be honest, I think we don't deserve this trophy, because we could see the difference between a team like Tottenham, after six weeks of training, and us, after only six days.

"For 80 minutes, we tried to play our football, but there were a lot of bad passes, and we were lucky to score two goals and go to penalties.

"That's football, and for us it's a very good moment, and I'm very happy for our fans who are always there and who haven't stopped singing and helping the team. When we were losing, they were still with us."
