TOTTENHAM supporters can’t see to get their head around what Hugo Lloris did for Philippe Coutinho’s opener.

The Brazilian put Barcelona ahead after just two minutes at Wembley.

When the ball was clipped down the Barcelona flank to Jordi Alba, the World Cup winner came racing out of his goal.

The French international is renowned for being a ‘sweeper keeper’, which involves clearing up loose balls in behind the defence.

Lloris won’t want to see this one back though, he misjudged the ball and let Alba square to Coutinho who had the easy task of placing it into the net.

Tottenham fans took to Twitter to vent their anger at their captain who’s mistake proved costly so early in the game.

Lord Sugar tweeted: “What was Hugo Lloris thinking, we are 1 down in 1.5 mins.”

“Spurs pressing was so good there, Lloris made to look like an idiot. messi's ball awesome!! Easy for Coutinho,” one fan added.

Another fan lost his cool: “I am fuming at Lloris for that first goal. He gave Barcelona a goal head start what a clown. Lloris must now lose club captain.”

That didn’t take long!

Spurs found themselves 2-0 down when Ivan Rakitic fired a stunning volley in off the post.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have now left themselves with plenty of work to do.

They lost their opening match away at Inter in dramatic fashion as Matias Vecino snatched an injury time winner.

Spurs will now have to get two wins against PSV Eindhoven to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout stages.

“Hugo lloris has to be the most overrated keeper in the world,” said one angry Spurs fan.

This was the captain’s first game since returning from a thigh injury.

Paulo Gazzaniga impressed while filling the void of Lloris and Michel Vorm, who also picked up an injury.

The club fined the goalkeeper £250,000 last month when he was found twice over the drink-driving limit.
