Via planes, trains and automobiles, Tottenham have arrived in Bilbao for the club's biggest game in decades.
Win, and with their first trophy in 17 years will come the added glory of returning to European football's top table with a spot in the Champions League next season.
Lose, and the number 17 takes on a different dimension - Spurs' league position. Defeat in Spain will make that impossible to ignore, or put down to focusing on Europa League exploits, and manager Ange Postecoglou will almost certainly lose his job.
That, of course, may happen anyway. But Postecoglou has said he always wins a trophy in his second season and intends to deliver on that promise, regardless of whether it is enough to convince Daniel Levy that he is the man to take Spurs on.
