da realsbet: Fans of the Premier League’s elite were all looking forward to Thursday’s Champions League draw, but some were left feeling deflated after the groups were decided.
da dobrowin: Tottenham Hotspur have arguably been handed the toughest draw out of their fellow English clubs.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side will face Borussia Dortmund, Apoel and reigning champions Real Madrid.
It is important for the North London club to have a positive run in the tournament having failed to progress past the group phase last season.
However, the task has been made even tougher now that they have to take on one of the Spanish greats and 2012-13 runners-up Dortmund.
Another potential problem for Spurs is their record at Wembley, where they will be playing all of their home games in domestic and European competitions this season.
In four matches at the stadium in the 2016-17 campaign, Pochettino’s men managed to win just once, so they will need to break the Wembley hoodoo in order to progress in Europe.
As expected, Tottenham fans were glued to the draw as it was taking place, and many would have had their head in their hands once the group was finalised.
Some chose to express their disappointment in gifs after Tottenham confirmed their opponents on Twitter.
