Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch slammed his old side after their Champions League elimination by AC Milan.

A 0-0 draw saw Milan reach the quarterfinals 1-0 on aggregate.

Crouch said: "What is the point of getting top four if you're going to perform like this in the Champions League? I get there are financial aspects to it.

"The fans would like to see an FA Cup or a Carabao Cup win - a trophy. It's been so long. So to play a weakened team in the FA Cup - and the reason you rest the players is for the Premier League game - and you then lose that, then you're out of the Champions League.

"You're going for top four, but what for? They haven't performed in any game I've seen here in the Champions League."
