The Brazil international was left out after his semi-final heroics, but says he respects his manager’s decisions

Tottenham forward Lucas Moura has admitted that his role as a super-sub can be frustrating but that he respects the decisions of manager Mauricio Pochettino. 

The Brazil international was relegated to the bench in last season’s Champions League final, despite scoring a hat-trick in Spurs’ famous semi-final comeback against Ajax. 

He was ousted from the team by Harry Kane and Spurs went down to a limp 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in Madrid.
