Tottenham Hotspur have already been eliminated from the Champions League.
Spurs star Son Heung-min has explained how important tonight’s game against CSKA Moscow is for the future of his side’s season, as they continue to become accustomed to playing their home European games at Wembley, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been desperately disappointing on the continent this season, amidst concerns that they do not have enough strength in depth to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League on a consistent basis.

And the 24-year-old South Korean explained how important it will be for Spurs to gain momentum in European competition, even if that leads to their participation in the Europa League – something that could affect their domestic campaign, as quoted by the Evening Standard:
“For me it’s really important to stay in the Europa League, in two competitions. It’s very important to play at Wembley, how it’s feeling and to thank the fans.”

Tottenham were back to their best at the weekend, with a 5-0 win over Swansea City, but face a sterner test on Sunday, with a trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
A win tonight against CSKA will not only secure their spot in the Europa League, but also help breed further confidence ahead of their clash with the Red Devils at the weekend.
