Tottenham Advance in Champions League After Draw vs. Lionel Messi, Barcelona

Tottenham Hotspur advanced to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday after they earned a 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou.

Spurs needed to match Inter's result at home to PSV Eindhoven, and with the Italian side being held to a 1-1 draw at the San Siro, the Lilywhites progressed thanks to their superior head-to-head record against Inter.

Ousmane Dembele broke the deadlock in the seventh minute with a fine solo goal. After dispossessing Kyle Walker-Peters on the half-way line, the Frenchman showed off his searing pace to bear down on goal and applied a cool finish having evaded Harry Winks' challenge.
