After the game, Son Heung-min said, `It's a bit unfortunate that the game was tied. It's too bad we drew the game even though we had more chances. "I felt a little worse after scoring a goal from the standpoint of watching the game." "It's not that we didn't do well, but it's a little upsetting and a little sad that the results of the game didn't follow." But I think these things are an opportunity to learn, and I think we need to develop further through these games."
Tottenham are looking to win this tournament. Along with Manchester United, Lazio, Athletic Bilbao, Porto, and Galatasaray, they are considered the strongest candidates. Tottenham will face Fulham (home) on December 1, Bournemouth (away) on December 6, and Chelsea (home) on the 9th in the league, before playing Europa League games against Rangers again on the road on the 13th. We have to continue our tight schedule before Boxing Day. Son Heung-min, who has completely returned from injury, aims to score again.
