Tottenham face a difficult task in the Last 16 of the Champions League.
The draw for the Last 16 of the Champions League has been made, with Tottenham Hotspur to face Juventus.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side produced some impressive performances as they topped a group that included Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Tottenham have now been paired with Juventus, who have won the Champions League on two occasions, in what is an intriguing tie.
The sides met in a friendly at Wembley last summer, with Tottenham prevailing with a 2-0 victory courtesy of goals from Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen.
Juventus are currently in third place in Serie A having taken 38 points from their 16 games so far and will certainly provide difficult opposition for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Tottenham will be eager to enjoy a lengthy run in Europe’s elite club competition and this tie, against high-profile opposition, provides them with an opportunity to showcase their credentials.
Pochettino will hope that his side will be back performing consistently by the time the Champions League returns in February, with Tottenham having produced some disappointing performances prior to the 5-1 thrashing of Stoke City at the weekend.
Here’s how Tottenham fans reacted to the draw.
