And unless Spurs can pull off something special against AC Milan next week when they try to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, another trophy-less season beckons.

Head coach Antonio Conte missed his side’s latest exit from a cup competition as he recovers from gallbladder surgery, so it was left to assistant head coach Cristian Stellini to serve up another apology to the club’s fans.
