It wasn’t any easier for the North London club’s fans last night either. For a brief moment, though, there was hope—just a flicker—that something special might happen. But it didn’t. And despair continues to define Tottenham, a team that, even when it plays well, is rarely good enough to achieve something tangible—3:2 (first leg 2:5).Even when they had the chance to turn things around and trouble Diego Simeone’s side—like FC Barcelona recently did in the Copa del Rey—Tottenham once again showed their all-too-familiar losing mentality. Why didn’t Mathys Tel pass the ball in the 35th minute instead of going for goal himself? Why didn’t he spot his teammates..

The Red Devils first approached Baleba last summer, and the Cameroon international was open to the switch, but Brighton’s £100m valuation proved too steep at the time.Things have shifted slightly this season, with Baleba not quite hitting the same heights, partly due to ongoing transfer speculation affecting his early form.
