‘It belongs to the past, we need to write new stories’: Hugo Lloris says Tottenham won’t take inspiration from European comebacks last season as they look to overturn 1-0 deficit away at Leipzig in Champions League

Spurs went all the way to the final against Liverpool last June after dramatically coming from behind to knock out Man City and Ajax, and will need another special moment to see off the German side, who take a 1-0 lead into the second leg.
But club captain Lloris says his team-mates should forget about the miracles of last year and instead focus on having the ‘perfect game’ against their Bundesliga opponents on Tuesday night. ‘We have to take everything positive but I think it belongs to the past, we need to write new stories,’ he said.
