Spurs forward Lucas Moura admits that Champions League final defeat to Liverpool last season hurt him a lot.
Liverpool were 2-0 victors over Spurs in Madrid after a heroic semi-final hat-trick from Lucas against Ajax helped them to qualify for the final.
He told Esporte Interativo that being left on the bench for the match was also a difficult decision for him to accept.
“It was a blow to be on the bench in the final. That moment was the culmination of my career, that ecstasy for what had happened in the semi-finals.
“I believed very much that we would be champion. It hurt a lot to lose that title. I cried a lot. But then, after the sadness, I just have to be thankful for the season I had. Not even defeat in the final will erase the beauty of the season.”
