Thomas Frank’s post-match reaction was delivered after Tottenham Hotspurs 4–0 win over FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 group stage.
The highlight of the match was when Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven ran from box to box and scored a stunning solo goal which made Thomas Frank say that he turned into Lionel Messi.
The Danish coach described it as one of the most spectacular goals scored by a defender in his managerial career.
Beyond the brilliance of Van de Ven, Frank praised the connection between Brennan Johnson, Xavi Simons, and Wilson Odobert. With assists flying in, especially from Xavi Simons, and dominance across the pitch, it was clear Tottenham took a significant step forward after the disappointment of their recent defeat to Chelsea.
