Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is battling to lift his players.

Mourinho is still reeling from their Europa League exit at Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday when they threw away a 2-0 first-leg lead.

The Sun says one insider also claimed it is “not a happy camp" as they get ready to face Aston Villa in the Premier League tomorrow.

Mourinho, whose struggling side face Manchester City in next month's Carabao Cup final, is furious at seeing another chance of lifting a much-needed trophy go begging.

Asked if he still believes he can bring trophies to Spurs, he said: “There are some groups where it's easy to win. In Zagreb we lost a chance of winning a trophy.

“I'm not saying that by winning there we would have won the Europa League, far from it. I'm not saying that. But we were knocked out of a competition where if we go to the quarter-finals, we have a 12.5 per cent chance of winning the competition. So we can say we lost a competition.

“Of course, the only chance we have to win a trophy this season is the final that we have to play against a very good team, against the next champions. So it'll be a very difficult final."
