Tottenham vs Liverpool Champions League final

Victor Wanyama couldn't sleep all night after 2019 UCL loss to Liverpool

In a recent interview with The Athletic, former Tottenham man Victor Wanyama revealed how he spent a sleepless night after Spurs lost to Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final. The former Celtics star was quoted as saying, “I was really, really pissed off not to start that game. And even more pissed off because we didn’t win. I tried to encourage those who played. We went back to the hotel after the game. I couldn’t sleep at all. The situation was going around in my head. My brother (McDonald) Mariga was also on the bench in a Champions League final for Inter Milan against Bayern Munich (in 2010). He had to sit on the bench for the full game, so he could relate and understand what I was going through.” Wanyama, who played under Mauricio Pochettino at Southampton before joining Spurs, left Tottenham for the MLS where he is playing for Thierry Henry-coached Montreal Impact.
