The Brazil international was brought onto the pitch in the 71st minute with the score at 4-2 in Bayern Munich’s favour, as he replaced Dele Alli.
However, he ultimately could not help change Spurs’ fortunes against the German outfit as he did against Ajax in last year’s Champions League semi-final triumph (BBC).
Fans had been calling for Lucas’ introducing throughout the game and were pleased when he finally managed to get on the pitch, although many of them had felt Pochettino had left it too late for the 27-year-old to have a significant impact.
In fact, the South American has had to be rather patient this season, as he has made just eight appearances across all competitions for Tottenham so far, with half of them coming from the bench (Transfermarkt).
Here are just some of their reactions…

About time but giving him 19 minutes is ridiculous when he should have been on from the start

Do you think Moura should have been brought on earlier? Should he have been on from the start? Join in the discussion by commenting below!
