Postecoglou declares Liverpool the best team in the world

On Thursday, Tottenham suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat to Liverpool in the second leg of the League Cup semifinal. Spurs’ head coach Ange Postecoglou did not hide his admiration for the opposition.

Details: The North London manager openly stated that his team faced the best side in world football and, due to squad issues, they were unable to put up a real fight.

Quote: "Last night, we were missing ten senior players. But if you take seven or eight key players out of any team and play against the best team in the world, who are in their best form, I don't think you can draw too many conclusions from that.

It was a disappointing night for us, a disappointing night for the club. A disappointing night in terms of the opportunities we had. I said after the game that we didn’t play at the level we needed to. Liverpool were simply too good for us," Postecoglou stated.
