'All the motivation we need to shut him up' - Loads of Spurs fans hit back at pundit's dig

-

Tottenham Hotspur are “lucky” to be in the Champions League final, according to former Liverpool star Graeme Souness, per Balls.ie.

The former Reds manager insists that there has been a great deal of fortune in the club’s miraculous run to the showpiece, with Spurs having beaten Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Ajax to reach the final stage in Madrid.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have beaten Bayern Munich, Porto and Barcelona to get to the final but Souness appears hung up on the form of Mauricio Pochettino’s men in all competitions.

They have lost a total of 19 games across the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League, and the Sky Sports pundit has expressed his disbelief that they will be playing in Saturday’s game.

He said: “The minute you try to attach logic to a game of football, you will come unstuck. Eight, nine times out of ten, the team with the best players wins the football match. Liverpool have the best players.

“On the other side of that coin, there’s a small part of me thinking, ‘Spurs’ name is already on that trophy’. The way they’ve got to the final, they have been lucky.

“You can’t say Liverpool have been lucky. They came back from 3-0 down against Barcelona, you can’t say that was a lucky performance. They steamrolled Barca that night, stopped Messi, they steamrolled them.

“I’m hoping it will be a Liverpool win but there is an element of doubt in my mind because of the luck Spurs have enjoyed getting to the final.”

And fans insist that he has no right to make such a statement and that his bias is shining through, while others believe that Pochettino’s team talk has been written for him.
