Tottenham lost Cristian Romero to a second-half red card and were held to a 0-0 draw by Milan which meant they lost 1-0 on aggregate
Last modified on Wed 8 Mar 2023 22.37 GMT
When Pierre-Emile Højbjerg ran from right to left, kept on going and banged a shot towards the top corner, it forced the Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan to tip over. It was the 65th minute and it was indisputably the first time that the crowd were roused. It was pretty much the last, too, if you do not count the dismay that followed Romero’s decision to hurl himself into Théo Hernandez on the right flank.
He knew that meant him missing the first leg of the quarter-final should Spurs progress and the same fate befell Clement Lenglet midway through the first period; an aerial challenge on Olivier Giroud, a stray arm, another costly booking. This one was harsh.
