Antonio Conte: We didn’t deserve to win and we didn’t deserve to lose

Antonio Conte couldn’t hide his disappointment after our late, late 2-0 loss in Lisbon against Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Speaking to SPURSPLAY at Jose Alvalade Stadium, Antonio said: “The game in the first half was in the balance. In the second half, we tried to push and we had good chances to score. Then, in the end, we are talking about a loss.

“We conceded a goal from a corner and, for sure, we can do much better, Then we conceded another goal two minutes later. We have to work on all of these aspects because the level of the Champions League is an important level, and we have to try to improve because every game is very difficult. The game against Marseille was difficult. The same today. For sure, at the end, we didn’t deserve to win, but at the same time, we didn’t deserve to lose.

“We played against a team that is used to playing in this competition. It’s important… to play in this competition means you are able to manage all these situations. We will continue to work, to have a good reflection about the game, take the positive situations and work on the negative situations.”
