Postecoglou visibly hasn't let Sunday's result impact his mood. Although he is known for his stern ways and 'stand off' approach to his players, he sat on the grass with duo Pedro Porro and Rodrigo Bentancur in a wholesome exchange yesterday:

Spurs take on fellow Premier League outfit Manchester United next Wednesday in Bilbao for a shot at Europa League glory.
The club haven't won a trophy since 2008, yet in only his second year at the helm, Postecoglou could end said drought.
The 59-year-old left Celtic for Spurs in the summer of 2023. He sparked transformative change at Parkhead after the disastrous 2020/21 campaign, winning a double in his first year followed by a treble in his second.
"I would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Club for everything they have given me," said Postecoglou after departing the club almost two years ago.
"In particular, Dermot [Desmond], Peter [Lawell] and Michael [Nicholson] and the Celtic Board have shown me tremendous support in every aspect of my time at Celtic and I will forever be grateful for this.
"They brought me to the Club and I have worked so closely and so well with them for the past two years, I will always have a special relationship with them.
“They wanted me to extend my time at Celtic and while I am so respectful and understanding of their position, a new opportunity has been presented to me and it is one which I wanted to explore.
“It was an honour to be asked to be Celtic manager and during my two years I have given everything I have to deliver success to our supporters."
