Hugo Lloris: Tottenham Won't 'Challenge for the Champions League Every Season'

Tottenham Hotspur shouldn't count on making a quick return to the UEFA Champions League final, according to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

The French stopper spoke after Spurs were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in Madrid on Saturday, per Sky Sports, and he said he doesn't believe "Tottenham is the type of club to challenge for the Champions League every season. We have to be honest about this statement."

It's a bleak summation of Spurs' standing but not a totally unrealistic one given the constraints likely to impact the north London club in the coming years.
