Tottenham will take on Premier League rivals City at White Hart Lane in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Tuesday evening.

It will be the first ever Champions League game at White Hart Lane since Tottenham recently moved into their new stadium.

Spurs did have issues moving to White Hart Lane and there were delays in the completion of the stadium, and many rival fans on Twitter had been mocking the North London outfit for their advertisement, such as the one below.

Hazard wrote on Twitter: “So after all the p*** t****g it’s actually right. Spurs new stadium is the only place in London to see Champions League football this season. What an occasion this will be, walking or not walking I’m not missing this one COYS X.”
