Mauricio Pochettino is adamant that Tottenham Hotspur are mentally strong enough to win trophies despite their lack of success in recent seasons.

Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are mentally strong enough to win trophies despite their lack of success in recent seasons.

Spurs have not won silverware since 2008, when they lifted the EFL Cup, and will finish this season empty-handed once again.

The club's latest trophy setback came last weekend when they lost 2-1 to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals, their eighth defeat in a row in the last four of the competition.

Last month, Tottenham were knocked out of the Champions League as Juventus produced two goals inside three second-half minutes to reach the quarter-finals at their opponents' expense.

"A lot of topics you can blame in football when you lose - the tactics, the selection, the approach of the game, the mentality," Pochettino told Sky Sports News. "In the end when you lose, you lose. Every single opinion is right.

"I don't believe it's about mentality. We always talk about competing. The mentality is to have the belief and the feeling that you can beat any team.

"Tottenham have shown in the last few seasons it can compete and beat any team - Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and of course in the Premier League."

Spurs currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Chelsea and with a game in hand on the Blues.
