Tottenham Hotspurs defender Pedro Porro has highlighted the contrasting fortunes of the club competing in the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
Despite struggling for form in the league with a 16th position ranking, Spurs have excelled in the Champions League after qualifying automatically from the group stage of the competition.
Porro said this in a presser ahead of Spurs’ Champions League round of 16 stage first leg clash against Spain’s Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, March 10.
“I cannot give you a final answer on this issue. We have not been able to achieve the consistency we wanted. It could be because of different circumstances but in the Champions League, we’ve competed well, we’ve done things right and this is the reason why we are here.”
“The team has competed well in Europe and we need to put the icing on the cake in the Premier League and do our best” Pedro Porro said.
According to Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor, Brazilian forward Richarlison will start against Atletico Madrid.
