​Pochettino didn't address Tottenham players after Bayern Munich thrashing

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino did not address his players after their humiliating Champions League loss to Bayern Munich.

Despite creating several chances in the match and looking like a threat all game, Spurs lost 7-2 at home to Bayern.

The loss is one of the most significant they have ever experienced, while it is the first time any team has scored seven goals in England in a European game.

Speaking to reporters after the clash, Pochettino said: "It's difficult to talk now. I say nothing. It's a moment to stay all together. You can imagine that we can't talk now because it's a situation where we need to be calm first.

"After that we will talk tomorrow, not today. Today is a moment where we all know how we feel, very disappointed.

"The feelings of course are not so good. Now it's a moment to be calm and not make a mistake.

"After a result like today it's very important to stay calm. We are not going to fix anything by shouting or talking now when the emotion is on the skin."
