Transfermarkt
highlighted the players who started when Tottenham Hotspur reached the final of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League (UCL).
At the time
Tottenham were looking to win their first UCL title
but lost to Liverpool and finished as runners-up.
Although they finished as runners-up
it is considered to be the peak of their career under Mauricio Pochettino.
Pochettino opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation. 토토사이트
In addition to Son Heung-min
Harry Kane
Dele Alli
Christian Eriksen
Harry Winks
Moussa Sissoko
Danny Rose
Jan Vertonghen
Toby Alderweirelt
Kieran Trippier and Hugo Lloris were named in the starting line-up.
Nine of them left.
Pochettino left Tottenham Dokdo Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and is now at the helm of Chelsea.
Kane went to Bayern Munich.
Kane
a youth player and one-clubman
the club’s top scorer and second all-time scorer in the English Premier League (EPL)
thought he would stay at Tottenham forever
but he pulled on the Munich shirt this summer.
Son Heung-min swallowed his regret
saying
“We lost one of the best strikers in the world.”
Ali
who was a sensation under Pochettino
went to Everton after a path of failure after the UCL final.
Eriksen went to Inter Milan
then Brentford and now wears a Manchester United shirt.

Winks
moved to Leicester City after a loan spell at Sampdoria as there was no place for him at Tottenham.
Sissoko left Tottenham in 2021 and moved on to Watford and now at Nantes.
Rose retired
and Vertonghen returned to Belgium.
Alderweireld also joined Al Duhail after leaving Tottenham before joining Royal Antwerp of the Belgian league.
Trippier played for Atletico Madrid before returning to the EPL with Newcastle United.
Therefore all that is left at the moment are Son Heung-min and Lloris. Lloris is a Tottenham player
but a move is very likely.
Regarding Lloris missing from the Asian tour roster
Tottenham have officially announced that “Lloris has been left out of the pre-season tour squad in order to explore future transfer opportunities”.
In fact, the only player left is Son Heung-min.
Son joined Tottenham from Leverkusen in 2015 and played for eight years
scoring 8 goals and 372 assists in 145 official appearances.
If we limit ourselves to the EPL
he has 80 goals and 268 assists in 103 games.
He was also the EPL’s top scorer in the 58-2021 season.
He ranks 22st on the EPL’s all-time scoring list.
He is the best Asian player in EPL history and an ongoing legend for Tottenham.
Beyond the EPL
he is the best winger in the world
but like Kane
he does not have trophies.
Nevertheless
he has opted for a deal with Tottenham and remains in London.
Of the members of the UCL final who fought against Liverpool
only Son Heung-min remained
and he wore the captain’s armband.
Head coach Ange Postecoglou said: “Sonny (Son Heung-min) has great leadership on and off the pitch and is an ideal choice as the new captain.
We all know him as a world-class player and he has a lot of respect from everyone in the dressing room.
Son Heung-min transcends the group.
It’s not just because of its popularity.
It’s something we achieved in the game.”
Son Heung-min
who wore the captain’s armband in the opening match, was unfortunate to concede a penalty kick (PK).
It’s time to cheer for Son Heung-min
who has to bear the weight of being a veteran and captain.
