Tottenham Hotspur are playing their Champions League games at Wembley this season.
Tottenham Hotspur take on Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League tomorrow night, knowing that a win could see them take a giant leap toward potential qualification for the next round of the competition.
Spurs will of course be playing the game at Wembley Stadium, due to construction work at home ground White Hart Lane.

Speaking to the press in Germany the CEO of Leverkusen Michael Schade admitted that playing at Wembley is a dream for the club, and also made it clear of how highly the Bundesliga club rate Spurs. He told Kreiszeitung:
“Of course, we do not have enough points. We are under pressure. We cannot lose in London to obtain the dream of knockout round upright.”
“The team has undoubtedly not achieved the results recently we hoped for and had desired.
“This (playing at Wembley) alone is already a dream. We will try as dearly as possible.

“This is far from simple. They will be extremely difficult. Tottenham are an absolute top team.”
Spurs of course will surely be weary of their second fixture at Wembley in this season’s Champions League.
They lost their first game at the strange home ground, in a 2-1 defeat to AS Monaco in their opening fixture of the competition.

Spurs appeared to struggle in the fixture on unfamiliar ground and will no doubt have a tough time against Leverkusen – who impressed in their first fixture at the BayArena last month.
Tottenham will hope that the Wembley surroundings do not get in the way of their performance on this occasion.
