Harry Kane was picked ahead of the Brazilian, despite not playing in nearly two months due to an ankle injury, but Moura insists he does not have a problem with Pochettino's decision.

He said: "It was difficult because every player wants to play. But even more difficult was to lose the game because I really think we could do better - we could win this trophy. We had the quality for this, so it was the most difficult.

"I need to respect the decision of the coach, respect my team-mates, so no problem. I'm looking forward now to next season and win a trophy - that's my objective here."
