Tottenham v Internazionale: Champions League – Live! | Soccer

Here are the teams! Of course, this is an event that evokes memories of Gareth Bale who tore Inter at White Hart Lane in 2010; taxi for Maicon and all that. Tottenham won 3-1 that night and what would they give for a repeat of that score here. In their favor, Inter never beat them in London. Inter beat Arsenal and Chelsea in London. But not Tottenham.

Jim Denvir indicates by email that two wins could be enough for Tottenham. Their 2-1 defeat at San Siro means that a 1-0 win or a two-goal win would of course put them in first place tonight. They only have to beat Barcelona. Damn permutations.

Tottenham, attentive to Sunday's derby in North London, operates four changes after Saturday's win over Chelsea. The ineligibility of Juan Foyth means that Jan Vertonghen has regained his place in central defense, Harry Winks replaces Eric Dier, Erik Lamela replaces Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura takes the lead on Christian Eriksen.

The Inter makes three changes after defeating Frosinone C this weekend. Leave for Roberto Gagliardini, Lautaro Martinez and Keita Balde, passing by Matias Vecino, Ivan Perisic and Mauro Icardi, the dangerous man at the front.

Tottenham: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Clins of eye, Sissoko; Lamela, Alli, Lucas; Kane. Subs: Gazzaniga, Rose, Walker-Peters, Dier, Eriksen, Son, Llorente.

Internazionale: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, De Vrij, Skriniar, Asamoah; Vecino, Brozovic; Politano, Nainggolan, Perisic; Icardi. Subs: Padelli, Ranocchia, Miranda, Candreva, Keita Balde, Martinez, Borja Valero.

Referee: Cuneyt Cakir (Turkey).

Hello. It's hard not to admire this side of Tottenham. In fact, even if journalists are not supposed to have any bias (LOL!), It's hard not to like them. They do not spend a lot of money, they have one of the best managers in Europe, they have some of the best young players in Europe and are able to play an outstanding football, which means that they will probably not be subject to criticism. too viciously if they end up losing their group of the Champions League for the second time in three seasons. All in all, it's clear that they still form a team led by Mauricio Pochettino – assuming, of course, that Argentina hangs out long enough to taste all that is offered in the new White's cheese room Hart Lane.

Ah, here's the rub. It's the details that matter at this level and it's something that Tottenham has not touched on in recent months. The hard truth, unfortunately, is that they will have to blame themselves only if they end up playing football in the Europa League at the beginning of the year. Small mistakes catch you later and Tottenham, a team that always leaves you wanting more at times, has done too much on the ground. Once again, they find themselves playing a big game at Wembley instead of their new home and if they do not beat Internazionale tonight, that will be all for their Champions League campaign. The heat is on!

If it should be, notice it, is another thing. It was a difficult group, no doubt, but Tottenham had the opportunity to put himself in a much stronger position. The negligence began when they allowed Inter to organize a late riposte during his opening match at San Siro. The hit reached a peak when they managed to draw 2-2 with PSV Eindhoven, the flogging group. That means that they have to win 1-0 win or two goals here to take control of their confrontation with Inter, then knock out Barcelona in Nou's camp in a fortnight. A result below this score and they will be either eliminated, relying on goal difference or hoping that Inter did not rack PSV at home in his last match. Hmm. I do not like these chances, especially since Inter, third in Serie A, is a tough opponent. Still, Pochettino is nothing but positive, and Tottenham has just slipped away after defeating Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday. Now more than ever, they must keep faith.
