Hugo Lloris hails Tottenham's mentality after comeback win over Marseille

Antonio Conte’s side needed only a point to go through, but they lost the first half with one goal. Clement Lenglet equalized in the 54th minute and

scored the winning goal in the 95th minute. Frankfurt also beat Sporting Lisbon and qualified for the next round.

After the game,

said this

comeback showed their strong mentality.

"To be honest, we expected that type of game. The Stade Velodrome is a very difficult place to deal with and I think we showed great personality,"

Lloris said.

"Clement (Lenglet) scored a very important goal in France, in front of the French people. The second goal from Pierre (Hojbjerg) confirmed things for the group. We didn't play well during the first half. Maybe we didn't know what would happen if we attack. It wasn't good for us to play this type of first half.

"We speak in the locker room - we start the second half with much more personality and aggressive. We play a very good second half.

"It was a tough night, a great battle and even more psychological battle because we could feel in the first half a team was playing without the fear to lose, it was Marseille, and in the second half we face a team with the fear to lose.”

After a collision Heung-Min Son left the pitch in the first half and Antonio Conte’s assistant said they don’t know how long he will be out of action.  

Cristian Stellini who replaced the banned Antonio Conte on the touchline said:

"In this moment we don't know. We have to wait for a medical assessment. Sonny feels better now. I saw him in the dressing room, he celebrated with us.

"In this moment we don't know. We have to wait for a medical assessment and we have to wait until tomorrow.

"We are not sure if he is concussed. It is Son's face. His eye is a bit swollen.”

Conte was sent off last week against Sporting Lisbon and watched this game from the stands.

Stellini added:

"I had the possibility to talk with Antonio. He was very tired. He lived the game in the crowd, it's not normal.

"Maybe he spent more energy in the stands than he normally spends on the touchline.

"It was very difficult the first half. In the difficulties, we didn't lose our minds. We stayed in the match. It was terrible the goal we conceded because from a corner they took it quickly and we were not prepared.

"It is an important lesson for the future. But in the second half, something changed and we spoke in the dressing about the energy we need in the second half and the way we have to press them and counter the game.

"In this type of stadium and this type of match, a knockout, it is not very easy.

"The stadium was very hot in the first half and sometimes it is normal to give the possibility to the opponent to play, to use the energy you have in the second half. It could also be a strategy.

"We need to try to play all the 90 minutes in the same level."
