Mauricio Pochettino says the Champions League final loss to Liverpool left them with an empty feeling that will last forever

Pochettino said: It was tough. The last game of the season, the final of the Champions League is all or nothing and in the end it was nothing.

To be second for us, because were so competitive in football, is nothing.

It means a lot for the club to reach the final but the players and staff felt empty after the game.

With time you can say, OK we played in the final of the Champions League but we didnt win and that will always be with you.

Liverpool are now top of the Premier League, with Spurs 13 points behind.

The hosts are the favourites tomorrow but Pochettino said: We beat Liverpool 4-1 two years ago. We beat Ajax in the Champions League and Manchester City.

I feel that we have an unbelievable squad and at our best can beat any team.

Pochettino and his squad headed to plush Mayfair restaurant Novikov in the week in an attempt to rebuild team morale.
