Before the match against PSV, on the matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League Group Stages in Group B, people were already counting the Spurs as a dead weight, only fighting against PSV for the UEFA Europa League as the third place of the Group.
However, following the 2-1 victory over the Dutch side, not only lighted Spurs’ supporters up again but also forced everyone to analyze the possible scenarios for an improbable Tottenham qualify.
Before getting into it, we also need to comment Internazionale 1-1 Barcelona at the San Siro, in Italy. That was a good game. The Catalans were Messiless once again but managed to control the game. If it weren’t for Mauro Icardi, Inter would have been defeated at home.
Yeah, Icardi is shining. The Argentine is in an incredible form, and sooner or later, he will end up in another club – with all due respect for Internazionale.
Okay, so let’s put everything into perspective. In order to make it to the Round of 16, Mauricio Pochettino’s side will need to:
Beat Internazionale for 2 or more goals at home
Beat Barcelona away at the Camp Nou
This is what they need to do in order to make it without expecting other results, such as PSV beating Inter.
It’s hard for Tottenham. But they have very good players, such as Harry Kane, Son, Eriksen, an inspired Lucas Moura, and a solid defense. On the other hand, Inter has Icardi. And by seeing how Icardi is playing, I would say that he’s worth half of Tottenham’s team.
Let’s see what the future will bring for both Inter and Tottenham.
Peace!
