Many people were speculative about Tottenham Hotspur’s decision to move to Wembley for their Champions League matches this season, however they cannot deny the popularity of the choice in terms of ticket sales.

After an attendance of over 85,000 broke records in the defeat to Monaco, an even larger crowd is expected to descend upon the national stadium for Spurs’ next two home group stage games.

A lot of negativity surrounding the temporary move was due to fans worrying about what the atmosphere would be like in comparison to White Hart Lane.

Whilst it did not exactly match the feeling generated inside the club’s home ground, there was certainly a buzz around the stadium when they took on Monaco just a few weeks ago.

Regardless of the venue, the fact they are back in the Champions League for the first time in nearly five years is the real attraction to supporters.

Whether or not the move is determined to be a success will be decided by the results of the North London side’s clashes with Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow.
