Tottenham Hotspur
Of the four English sides, Tottenham Hotspur along with Manchester City arguably hold the least pedigree in the top European competition. They have featured in it before, but bar a semi-final appearance in the early 1960s, they have seldom challenged much in it. Of course, Manchester United and Liverpool have won it on multiple occasions.
However, Spurs have done well to qualify, especially after their bad start.
After looking comfortable vs. Inter, they conceded two late goals to lose 2-1. They also didn't get off the ground at PSV and were shown a footballing lesson at home vs. Messi and his Barcelona company.
Wins against PSV and Inter at home turned things around, and this culminated in a creditable draw vs. Barca in the Nou Camp.
Few would tip Spurs to win the competition, but it would be a strong experience for their top stars like Kane and co. to pit their wits against other world-class talents in the knockout stages.
GRADE - 9/10
