Tottenham could be reunited with Davinson Sanchez ahead of Champions League draw

Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer to discovering their Champions League round of 16 fate, with two potential opponents now in view ahead of Friday’s draw.

Atletico Madrid know they could face one of Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool in the round of 16 of the Champions League following their victory over Club Brugge in yesterday’s play-off encounter.

The Spanish outfit secured a 4-1 win in the return leg at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium after drawing 3-3 in the first leg.

However, their last-16 opponent is not yet guaranteed and will be confirmed during the knockout-stage draw on Friday, 27 February.

Tottenham will play Atletico Madrid or Galatasaray in Champions League R16

While Atletico Madrid are a potential opponent for Tottenham in the next round, Galatasaray are also in the mix following their victory over Juventus in their play-off round.

That is because, following the play-off draw, it was confirmed that Spurs could take on one of four opponents – Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Club Brugge or Galatasaray.

The Turkish outfit secured a 7-5 aggregate win across the two legs, thrashing Juventus 5-2 in the first. The return leg ended 3-2 to the Old Lady, who mounted a spirited comeback and forced extra time, but ultimately fell short after being reduced to ten men following a red card.

With the play-offs now complete, Tottenham’s round-of-16 opponent will be one of Galatasaray or Atletico Madrid, with Liverpool set to face the other.

Spurs await Champions League draw with European pedigree intact

Spurs will be hoping for a favourable draw on Friday as they aim to progress in the Champions League.

However, this is the highest level, and there are no easy games, which means Tottenham must be ready to put up a fight against whoever they are drawn against.

Spurs are a side with a European pedigree, having won the Europa League last season and reached the Champions League final in 2019 and will equally be a tough opposition for whoever they are drawn against.
