Tottenham Champions League opponents: Possible fixtures in last 16

1/17
Tom Dutton16 December 2019

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho said he would relish the chance to face Bayern Munich further down the line in a 'proper' Champions League game despite watching his side losing 3-1 in Bavaria last week in their final group game.

Bayern outplayed a much-changed Tottenham side to make it six wins out of six in Group B with goals from Kingsley Coman, Thomas Mueller and Philippe Coutinho.

Last season's beaten finalists Tottenham, who had already qualified for the last 16 as runners-up to a rampant Bayern, left out Harry Kane and Dele Alli, while Heung-min Son came on as a substitute in a largely meaningless fixture.

Ryan Sessegnon, 19, marked his first Champions League start with Tottenham's goal.

Tottenham could have lost by more but Mourinho still saw some positives and said the prospect of meeting Bayern again in the knockout phase did not concern him.

"It's not possible until the quarter-finals but my wish is to come back here for a proper match," said Mourinho.

Spurs advance to the last 16 as runners-up for the second straight season, meaning they will be drawn against one of the group winners in the next phase. Mourinho's men cannot be drawn against a Premier League rival, while they will also be kept apart from group-stage opponents Bayern Munich in the next round.

It means one of PSG, Juventus, Barcelona, RB Leipzig or Valencia lie in wait for Spurs in the last 16.
