Tottenham were knocked out of the Champions League earlier this month.
Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min has told the London Evening Standard that he was “devastated” by Spurs’ exit from the Champions League after Juventus won at Wembley.
Spurs had gone into the game with high hopes after Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane scored in Turin to secure two away goals in a 2-2 draw, but a 2-1 loss at Wembley despite Son’s goal sent Spurs out of the competition.
Pressure is beginning to increase on Spurs to finally win a trophy under the guidance of highly-rated manager Mauricio Pochettino, so the elimination from the Champions League was devastating for all those involved.
That was echoed by South Korea international Son, 25, who claimed he could not sleep after the loss which saw Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain striker within three minuted of eachother.
He also highlighted the importance of Saturday’s clash against Swansea City.
“After the Juventus game I couldn’t sleep,” Son said. “I was so upset and disappointed. It was similar to the Olympics, when I had dreams about it for a month, the same dreams.
“But now we must look to win. If we beat Swansea, it is a semi-final at Wembley. It is a great opportunity for us.”
Son has been in excellent form this season, scoring 18 goals and laying on another nine as assists during his 43 league and cup appearances for the north Londoners.
He is expected to feature in some degree against Carlos Carvalhal’s Swansea on Saturday at the Liberty Stadium, as Spurs eye a place in the last four of the FA Cup.
