Pochettino admits Tottenham gave up

Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham gave up in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to Bayern Munich.

Spurs let in three goals in the last 10 minutes to cap off a terrible night at home.

"The feeling at the end, when we conceded the three goals, it was like the team was tired and gave up a little bit," Pochettino said.

"Maybe that showed a little bit our frustration in the game because up until 83 minutes the team were alive, we were fighting, trying to create chances to score a third goal and we were still in the game. But they were very clinical.

"Of course we are so disappointed. I cannot say another thing other than I feel very very disappointed. I feel so bad because when you concede seven goals it is tough, but you need to face up to this type of situation.

"When you play the final of the Champions League, it was nice to put your face up after the wins we had at Manchester City and Ajax. Now I have to put my same face up and accept we were not as good as we expected."
