Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about the team's failure in the Champions League final last season.
Spurs reached the showpiece event for the first time in their history, but they were unable to defeat Liverpool.
Mourinho, who took over from Mauricio Pochettino last week, spoke about the achievement of reaching the final, comparing it to a failed moon landing.
Mourinho told reporters: "I love this competition as much as everyone in football. It's something that everybody dreams of winning. Not everyone has the privilege of being a Champions League winner which I was happy enough to do.
"If Mauricio says that [losing the final affected the players] then he's been here and he's sharing his feelings. It's like landing on the moon but you don't do it. Look at Liverpool, who had the frustration of not winning and then the next season they reached the final and won it.
"Every Champions League campaign there are details around your success or failure like how many times I lost on penalties or in the last minute. Details make the difference.
"In my case, the season where I lost the semi-final on penalties [to Bayern Munich in the 2011-12 season] with Real Madrid I think that was the strongest Real Madrid team of the past 15-20 years. We won the league but lost on penalties because three of the best penalty takers in the world, Kaka, [Sergio] Ramos and [Cristiano] Ronaldo, missed. We were the best team.
"As for Spurs last season, they had little details for them. VAR was with them and the Lucas [Moura] goal in Amsterdam. To arrive in the final is an achievement but not history."
