Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini’s comments.

Spurs suffered a 2-1 defeat to Juventus in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Wembley Stadium in London on Wednesday evening.

The defeat at home saw Tottenham lose the tie 4-3 on aggregate and bow out of Europe’s premier club competition, and this despite taking the lead through South Korea international attacker Son Heung-min on Wednesday in the first half.

After the match, Juventus defender Chiellini, who has been on the books of the Italian giants since 2005 and earns £62,000 per week as salary according to The Independent, was critical of Tottenham’s mentality after the match.

The Times quotes the 33-year-old Italian central defender as saying: “It’s the history of Tottenham. They always created many chances and score so much, but at the end they miss always something to arrive [win] at the end.

“We believe in history. I think the game between Real [Madrid] and Paris [Saint-Germain] showed also that history, with experience, is important.”

Chiellini also added that despite having fantastic attacking players such as Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, Spurs concede chances.
