When Tottenham walk out at Monaco’s Stade Louis II on Tuesday night, they do so faced with containing Europe’s most-potent frontline.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich – and closer to home, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City – none of them can match Monaco for goalscoring in the continent’s top five leagues this season.
