Could something similar happen this time around? Tottenham have been handed a tough draw and have been pitted in probably the hardest group.

While Spurs fans will expect the team to get maximum points from their two games against APOEL, even drawing against Madrid and Dortmund will be tough.

After all, Zinedine Zidane’s side have won the Champions League for the past two seasons and have arguably the best squad in Europe.

As for Dortmund, the German club have a very talented bunch of players and have been regulars in the Champions League for quite a few years now.
