World Cup 2018 winning-captain Lloris believes they can still go through to the final on June 1, despite losing 1-0 at home to Wednesday night's hosts Ajax in the first leg of their semi-final.

The France and Spurs keeper said: “It's a massive opportunity. I'm very pleased to be part of this team, involved in the semi-final of the Champions League. But I think all players want to play this type of game, every season in the Champions League – this is the main target for the club.

“Then when you're involved and try to compete, give your maximum. This season has been a success for the club, we don't want to stop at this level. We want to believe in our chance.

"We don't need to think about the next game, only the game tomorrow. We want to think about tomorrow, give our best finish the game on our knees, give the maximum and have no regrets and see what happens.

"It's important to keep the belief because everything is possible. We are still alive in this competition."
