The Tottenham manager said everything changed when his side went down a goal to the visitors within two minutes
Mauricio Pochettino dismissed the notion that two-goal hero Lionel Messi dismantled Tottenham, the Spurs boss instead lamenting Hugo Lloris' early mistake against Barcelona in their Champions League defeat.
Messi earned the plaudits with a brace as La Liga holders Barcelona overcame a depleted Tottenham side 4-2 at Wembley in London on Wednesday.
Spurs were always on the back foot after a Lloris error helped gift Barca the lead just 92 seconds into the game, before a stunning Ivan Rakitic volley doubled the advantage in the first half.
