In a half-empty stadium, roared on by a few hundred noisy English fans, Spurs have a chance to rescue themselves tonight.
To win the game Pochettino’s boys (4pts) will need all their energy to press hard and keep a high line, to keep Radamel Falcao out of their box for most of the 90.
It’s a must-win night because they have Bayer Leverkusen (6pts) and Monaco (8) above them.
By contrast, Leicester are top of Group G with 10 points.
Porto (7) look comfortable runners-up but Copenhagen (5) are not out of it yet.
Tonight Leicester play Bruges, who have lost all four games so far.
I’m still gutted that Falcao missed the 2014 World Cup because in his prime the Colombian superstar was even better than the awesome Luis Suarez.
This piece explains how he’s now become productive poacher.
A couple of ANR readers were raving about Falcao back in 2013.
