The Premier League side will be playing their home games in the competition at the national stadium.
Tottenham’s Harry Kane
Harry Kane has explained to Sky Sports that he is confident that Tottenham Hotspur will have no problem adjusting to playing their home games at Wembley in this season’s Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men kick off their group-stage campaign on Wednesday at the home of the England national side against Ligue 1 outfit Monaco.
And while Arsenal’s struggles when they played their home matches in the competition at the old stadium just before the Millennium has some concerned that Spurs will be unable to find their best form, Kane has outlined why the squad should be relishing the opportunity.
“If there are 85-90,000 Tottenham fans in there it’s only going to make you play better,” he told Sky Sports.
“A lot of us have played there already, so it feels like even more of a home. Everyone knows how iconic Wembley is, but that’s what we’ve got to be careful of, Monaco are going to come here and it’s a big occasion for them as well. We have to make sure we’re ready for that.”
As Kane suggests, several of the current Tottenham squad have established themselves as key members of the national side in recent times so that core are likely to find it much easier to adapt to the different surroundings.
And if the likes of Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Kyle Walker can use their experience to help the rest of the team quickly find their feet in their temporary home, then it is likely that Spurs will have little problem earning a place in the next round as they have been presented with a group that most supporters were very happy with when the draw was made.
