Postecoglou Criticizes Spurs' Luck After Europa League Draw with Frankfurt

Posted : 11 April 2025

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou expressed frustration with his team's inability to convert chances in their 1-1 Europa League quarterfinal first-leg draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite a clever finish from Pedro Porro that leveled the match after Hugo Ekitike's early goal, Spurs squandered multiple opportunities to take a lead.

 

 Lucas Bergvall hit the frame of the goal, and Rodrigo Bentancur's header struck the crossbar. Frankfurt's goalkeeper Kauã Santos made several crucial saves, including a late stop from Micky van de Ven's header in stoppage time, ensuring the draw.

 

Postecoglou acknowledged that his team had been unlucky this season, attributing their struggles to a lack of fortune from the "football gods." He commented that his squad would have to make do without this luck for the remainder of the campaign.

 

 Tottenham's poor form this season has left them struggling in the Premier League, sitting in 14th place with more than half of their matches resulting in losses. An ongoing injury crisis has further hindered the team's performance, making the Europa League their last opportunity to end a 17-year trophy drought.

 

Despite the disappointing result, Postecoglou praised the efforts of his players, especially Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, and the full-backs, who were instrumental in creating chances. He also commended the defensive pairing of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, although he expressed disappointment over the goal conceded.

 

 Postecoglou emphasized that the players gave their all in the second half, creating numerous chances. Spurs will next face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League before traveling to Frankfurt for the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal clash.
