Ramos' hopes of a hat-trick in the competition ended at Philips Stadium, when Pascal Chimbonda dragged his spot-kick wide and PSV won the shoot-out 6-5.

"We have two months left in the Premier League, so I hope the players are able to get up and do their best for the rest of the season," the head coach said.

"They need to get themselves together again and charge up for the next game against Manchester City at the weekend."

Trailing to Jefferson Farfan's goal a week ago at White Hart Lane, Dimitar Berbatov sent the game into extra-time with a spectacular volley from the edge of the area with eight minutes remaining.

Steed Malbranque, who had wasted Spurs' first chance of the game when he shot wide at the near post, almost put Ramos' men in the quarter-finals, but his effort was tipped over by Gomes.

"Our objective in this match was to win it and we did that. Unfortunately we had to go to penalties, but I don't regret anything," Ramos said. "It is then like a lottery.

"Every player in the Premier League is capable of scoring a penalty, but the pressure in a match like this is something you cannot train for, so that is what happened."
