Tottenham need a 'miracle' to progress in Champions League, admits Hugo Lloris

Hugo Lloris admits Tottenham may need a miracle to avoid an early exit from the Champions League.

Spurs' 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen leaves them third in Group E, two points behind the German club and four adrift of Monaco with only two games remaining.

It means Mauricio Pochettino's men are likely to need maximum points from their visit to Monaco later this month and the final group game against CSKA Moscow at Wembley if they are to qualify for the knock-out stages.

'We worked a lot last season to get into the Champions League and we cannot waste everything, we need to be ready for the next two games and try to get the miracle,' Lloris said.
