3 positives & negatives from Tottenham's 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich

Tottenham Hotspur’s preseason winning streak ended with a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich in Seoul. Even though the result isn’t ideal, there were some clear positives and negatives from the game that can help Spurs as they prepare for the new season.

Here’s a breakdown.

Positives

1. Pedro Porro’s impressive goal

Despite the loss, Pedro Porro’s stunning strike to pull one back for Spurs was a highlight. His 20-yard screamer showcased his attacking prowess and provided a much-needed boost in a game where Tottenham struggled. This goal was reminiscent of his FA Cup performance against Burnley and showed that Porro can be a key player for Spurs moving forward.

2. Youthful talent stepping up

The game saw promising performances from Tottenham’s younger players. Lucas Bergvall, in particular, stood out after coming on as a substitute, continuing his strong preseason form. Alongside Bergvall, emerging talents like Mikey Moore, Jamie Donley, and Will Lankshear also had opportunities to impress, suggesting that Spurs have a solid pool of young talent ready to contribute.

3. Resilience and adaptation

Even though Spurs were outplayed in the first half, they bounced back after the break by making some key changes. Adding fresh players like Emerson and Bissouma, along with some tactical tweaks, helped Tottenham get back into the game and score. This kind of adaptability shows they can handle tough situations well.
