Pundit says he cannot wait to see his two former clubs Tottenham and Barcelona face off.

Ex-Spurs player Gary Lineker looks on prior to the Barclays Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United at White Hart Lane on April 10, 2016 in London, England.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona star Gary Lineker has expressed his excitement for the two club’s Champions League matches.

Tottenham have been drawn in a tough group, featuring Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven and Inter Milan.

This was about as tough a group as Spurs could have asked to be drawn in.

Lineker picked out the matches between Spurs and Barcelona as the ones he is most looking forward to from the whole draw.

Tottenham will have to qualify the hard way once again, having been drawn in a particularly tough group last season.

A year ago they defied their doubters and emerged top from a group featuring Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

That will give them belief they can get through again, but the biggest concern is how potentially draining it could be on their Premier League efforts.
