Harry Kane is still reeling from Tottenham’s Champions League disappointment as the trophy “was there for the taking”.
It is just 48 days since Spurs’ first ever European Cup final appearance ended in heartache at the imposing Wanda Metropolitano.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool were crowned European champions for the sixth time after a narrow 2-0 victory that saw Tottenham finish another impressive season under Mauricio Pochettino trophyless.
Kane was controversially selected ahead of semi-final hero Lucas Moura to make his first start in two months having been sidelined with an ankle injury
Speaking to the press in Singapore, Kane understandably tried to focus on the positives when asked about the final, although the Spurs striker clearly felt it was a big opportunity missed.
“It was a tough one to take,” the England captain said at the National Stadium.
“We did extremely well to reach the Champions League final and, of course, when you get to those big games and you don’t quite perform the way you know you can, that’s always the bit that hurts you the most."
