Christian Eriksen says Tottenham were over-confident against Juventus

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has revealed that over-confidence has cost his side a place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals this season.

Spurs crashed out of the competition after a 2-1 defeat at Wembley to Juventus.

The Londoners managed to secure a very impressive away result in the first leg but they failed to cope with Juventus at home.

Pochettino’s men took the lead through Heung-Min Son in the second leg at home but the likes of Higuain and Dybala scored to seal Juventus’ place in the last eight.

Eriksen believes that Spurs were in the perfect position to go through to the quarter-finals but they were over-confident and Juventus used their experience to find a way past them.
