BusinessWho Tottenham will face in Champions League last 16


Tottenham are set for a blockbuster Champions League showdown in the last 16.

Spurs qualified automatically for the knockout stage by finishing fourth in the league phase and are dreaming of another famous European run despite their struggles in the Premier League.

Last season’s Europa League winners ended the Champions League league phase with 17 points from their eight matches and finished behind only Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

Since booking their spot in the last 16 with a 2-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany last month, Spurs have sacked Thomas Frank and replaced him with Igor Tudor.

Sunday’s 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in the north London derby leaves Spurs facing a relegation battle but they have a big two-legged tie to look forward to in the Champions League.

Spurs have the advantage of being at home in the second leg, as they target a quarter-final spot.

The first leg of the last-16 fixtures will be held on March 10/11 with the second legs on March 17/18.
