Lloris wants to win Champions League for 'amazing' Pochettino

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris is desperate to win the Champions League to honour his "amazing" relationship with Mauricio Pochettino.

The France goalkeeper has been a key part of Spurs' rise during the five years of Pochettino's reign after being made captain.

He has been a lieutenant and leader on the pitch, while the Argentinian stood by his man earlier this season when Lloris was convicted of drink-driving.

Lloris showed his appreciation for his manager last summer when he gave him a replica of the World Cup trophy he won with France, a memento which currently resides in Pochettino's office.

The 32-year-old is about to play another massive final as Spurs go for glory in the Champions League when they take on Liverpool in Madrid on Saturday and is driven on by his desire to repay Pochettino.

"I'm really grateful. I think in life or in your career there is always some amazing meeting in terms of person, and it's been the case with Mauricio," he said.

And Lloris knows what lifting both of the two biggest trophies in football in the space of 12 months would mean.

"We are all aware about this situation," he said. "It's a massive opportunity for the club to put a stamp in Champions League history.

"And then with my team-mates, with the coaching staff, with the gaffer, it's to write the history of the club.

"This is what you are looking for as a player, when you sign for a club, is to help the club to improve, to develop, and mainly to write one page of the history of the club."
