Champions League: Conte admits fear in Tottenham 3-2 win against Frankfurt
Tottenham boss, Antonio Conte, said he was scared during their 3-2 win over German side, Eintracht Frankfurt, in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Conte said hus worries came towards the end of the game when he thought his side would give away their crucial win.
Antonio Conte’s men climbed to the top of Group D with a 3-2 win, but it was almost a ‘disaster’ for them as things got hedgy in the last minutes of the game.
Spurs went behind but rose to the occasion with goals from Son Heung-min (2) and a Harry Kane penalty.
The Premier League side were comfortable on 3-1 until a late goal from Faride Alidou made things edgy and Kane’s penalty miss in stoppage time as Conte was starting to fear the worst.
“The negative aspect is the final part and it has to be a big lesson for everybody, for me. The game finishes when the referee whistles three times.
“In the last part of the game, everybody conceded the game ended and for this reason we made a big mistake.
“We conceded a corner they scored, then we missed the penalty. When we missed the penalty I admit I was a bit scared, because I thought everything can happen.”
