Tottenham Hotpsur’s Champions League introduction and the Wembley factor

Tottenham Hotspur and the Champions League have a very special relationship – despite the fact that the North London club are entering only their second campaign in Europe’s top tournament in its current format.

The elite competition has offered up both delight and misery to the White Hart Lane supporters over the years.

Tottenham’s first outing in the Champions League in 2010-11 was the club’s introduction as a rising force in English football and thanks in large to the work put in by Harry Redknapp.

It also put Gareth Bale and Luka Modric on the big stage, with the pair’s reputation bolstered by starring in Europe.
