Tottenham Hotspur Champions League Tickets

Spurs have a limited history in UEFA's premier club competition, though they've done considerably well given their lack of experience at the highest level. Tottenham first played Champions League football in the 2010/11 season, advancing to the quarter-finals at the first time of asking. Ultimately though, the Lilywhites lost out to European heavyweights Real Madrid, 5-0 on aggregate.

Tottenham returned to the UEFA Champions League arena in 2016 and subsequently featured in four consecutive editions of this competition. Manager Mauricio Pochettino had gradually improved Spurs, making them capable of competing with some of the most revered teams in European football. THFC progressed to the knockout phase three years in a row, including a remarkable run to the final in 2018/19.

Since opening its doors in 2017, the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has become a semi-regular destination for UCL football. This 62,500-seater venue is among the most spectacular football grounds in Europe, and Spurs fans will be hopeful of more Champions League nights in the near future. The likes of Gareth Bale, Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane, and Heung-min Son have all run out for Spurs in the Champions League.

Spurs' finest moment in this competition would have to be reaching the Champions League final in the 2018/19 campaign. Pochettino's side had marginally escaped a tough group which also comprised of FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, and PSV Eindhoven. Tottenham then eased past German giants Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16, 4-0 on aggregate.

Spurs squeezed past Manchester City in the quarter-finals, and Ajax in the semi-finals, both via the away-goal rule. Their fairytale came to an abrupt end with defeat to Premier League rivals Liverpool in the final, held at Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid.

Of course, beating Manchester City in extraordinary fashion will live long in the memory for Tottenham fans worldwide. Spurs had recorded a 1-0 win at home to Pep Guardiola's team, but it was at the Etihad Stadium where all the drama unfolded. Five goals in the first half saw Man City lead 3-2 at the interval. Sergio Agüero extended their advantage but Fernando Llorente halved the deficit after 72 minutes. Raheem Sterling found the back of the net in stoppage time, only for his goal to be disallowed.

Tottenham then met Ajax in the semi-finals. The Dutch outfit claimed a narrow 1-0 win in north London, but once again it was in the second leg where we were subject to unbelievable scenes. Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech netted in the first half in Amsterdam, giving Ajax a 3-0 lead on aggregate and leaving Spurs on the verge of defeat. Lo and behold, Lucas Moura netted a second-half hat-trick – including a 96th minute winner – to turn the tie on its head and dump Ajax out of Europe.
