Spurs need to 'write new stories', says Lloris

Hugo Lloris has challenged Tottenham to "write new stories" in the Champions League, even though they will take the positives from last season's sensational comeback against Ajax in the semi-final.

Spurs looked to be sunk when trailing 3-0 on aggregate in the second leg of the tie last May but Lucas Moura's second-half hat-trick in Amsterdam saw them knock out the Dutch giants in dramatic circumstances.

Spurs, then under the leadership of Mauricio Pochettino, lost 2-0 in the final to Liverpool in Madrid.

Tottenham need another memorable away day if they are to progress further than the last-16 in this campaign, with Timo Werner's penalty handing Bundesliga high-flyers RB Leipzig a 1-0 win in north London last month.

"We have to take everything positive but I think it belongs to the past, we need to write new stories," said goalkeeper and captain Lloris, referring to the Ajax match.

"We have to go there and be ready to make the perfect game, we have to go there to win the game. It is as simple as that.

"But the opponent is a very, very good team. I'm not surprised that they are fighting for the title in the Bundesliga."
