The boss of Tottenham has seen his team suffer a 2-0 defeat against the Reds in Madrid, but he is eager to return in the near future.

Mauricio Pochettino wants to "revive this" despite the fact that his Tottenham team is suffering from the heartbreak of the Champions League against Liverpool.

The Spurs have seen a breathtaking race against European competition come to a disappointing conclusion in Madrid.

They had arrived at Wanda Metropolitano confident of being able to defeat their national rivals. Striker Harry Kane has returned to their ranks following a layoff for injury.

But the Spurs' title dreams hit home with less than two minutes when Moussa Sissoko was challenged for a dubious handball call.

Mohamed Salah converted the penalty spot, while Divock Origi made it three minutes from the end.

Pochettino is now thinking of a season that promised a lot, but only a fourth place, questions being asked about his future in North London.

Argentina is eager, however, to make the most of the positives of 2018-2019 and to ensure that similar stages at the top of the game are honored again.

He said BT Sport Spurs enthusiastically: "I am very proud of their efforts, of the way we fight.

"We were not lucky, we conceded a penalty goal. We fought and we played so well in the second half.

"I feel so proud, a bit unlucky. It was difficult to start 1-0 after the start, we changed our plans but we are very proud of these players and fans. We can be optimistic.

"This [penalty] was the circumstance that we can not handle or prepare. You can never believe that you will be 1-0 after one minute.

"Mentally, it was very hard, it's a question of learning and experience, as Liverpool was last year.

"I'm delighted to manage this group of players, but congratulations to Liverpool.

"The standards are so high that they are not enough today. It's a pity. You want to relive that and repeat it. It's the best game in the world after the World Cup.

"It's about trying, believing and building the trip so that it happens again as quickly as possible."

The Spurs have put all the pieces in place off the field for long-term success, with a move to the new Totteham Hotspur Stadium.

They now need this ambition to be at the height of the field. The club should return to the transfer market this summer after spending two windows without adding anything.
