Tottenham cult hero suffers ‘shameful’ European defeat after joining new club.
Ange Postecoglou secured a fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season and Europa League will be returning to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fans may be a little disappointed at missing out on the Champions League but Tottenham certainly made progress in the first season of the Postecoglou era.
Qualifiers for European tournaments are ongoing right now with Maccabi Tel Aviv and CS Petrocub winning the first leg of their Europea League qualifiers on Tuesday.
Lille, FC Midtjylland, Ludogorets and Red Bull Salzburg all won in the Champions League qualifiers but there was an unbelievable result in the Europa Conference League.
Erik Lamela suffers European nightmare
Tottenham infamously splashed the cash on a number of signings as Gareth Bale departed for Real Madrid in 2013.
Those seven signings didn’t fare too well outside of Christian Eriksen and the feeling was that Spurs wasted the Bale
.
Erik Lamela was supposed to become Tottenham’s next great winger having shown huge potential with Roma.
The Argentinian arrived as left-footed, right-sided winger with plenty of skill in his locker.
Tottenham appeared to land a fine Bale replacement but Lamela never quite lived up to the billing.
Lamela did though become something of a cult hero; anybody with such a penchant for trying rabona shots will have a place in the heart of supporters.
Players such as Harry Kane and Eric Dier loved Lamela and whilst he didn’t become a superstar, he seemed to understand being a Tottenham Hotspur player.
