Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko gave away a penalty in the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have joked about Moussa Sissoko’s post on Twitter, ahead of their first game back in the Champions League.

Sissoko inadvertently picked a photo of himself from Tottenham’s last game, which arguably wasn’t the most appropriate one to use with his encouraging message.

The French midfielder was snapped pointing while bellowing instructions to a teammate.

And it has brought back some bad memories of the Champions League final for some Tottenham fans.

It was a similar story on Instagram, where Sissoko had put up the same post for Tottenham fans to see.

Sissoko was, of course, punished for a handball against Liverpool in the first minute of the Champions League final last season, and Spurs struggled to recover from that set-back on the big occasion.

Liverpool went on to win the game 2-0, with Spurs failing to show their best form on the day.

Tottenham will want to bounce back from that disappointment by getting their Champions League campaign off to a winning start this term.

Spurs take on Olympiacos in Greece later this evening, and head into the game as favourites to pick up the three points.
