I'm just glad I'm going to Barcelona to see a match where the result will mean something and not a dead rubber. It would have been a long way to go to watch both reserve teams!
Even though the result doesn't matter i can see Barca winning tonight as a statement of intent and they would rather Spurs go out than Inter surely? Big spurs performance needed tonight, not sure they will be able to handle Messi if he is playing
Barcelona are resting a LOT of players due to niggles etc. I'm not saying the Nou Camp is an easy place to go but Spurs are playing them at the perfect time. Surprise away win: 0-2
As a fan of Italian football over any other league in Europe I'll be supporting Inter and Napoli tonight, just happens that they would knock out the two English clubs.

Definitely supporting Napoli. Not too bothered about Spurs.
Napoli certainly have the quality to get through but it is whether they have the mentality. As up until last year they used to play their B team in the Champions League. Hopefully Ancelotti has changed the mind set. I believe they have the quality to win the whole thing. Only their mentality holds them back.

Yeah, last year I think the whole club believed it was their best chance to win the league and they sort of put all their eggs into that basket and discarded the Champions League. I think Ancelotti is the right man to have in charge if you want to change that mentality and target both, which a club full of their talent should be doing. (even if Juventus do look stronger than ever)

And they seem to be able to keep hold of their stars on the whole. The only problem is Juve are just so strong that I think they would win any domestic league in Europe.
Spurs top players are looking like they are finding good form at just the right time. I think they have a decent chance and might put a bet on them before the teamsheets are out.

That means that Liverpool must beat Napoli at home to progress. They must win either by two goals OR 1-0.
Winning 2-1/3-2/4-3 would see Liverpool eliminated.
4 points vs Liverpool and Napoli.
You’d still expect PSG to win though
Spurs have a mountain to climb, although Barca may well rest players.

Liverpool unbeaten at home in the CL for 18 games. W13 D5.
Napoli no away wins in 6. D2 L4.

Spurs' chances really depend on the lineup Barca put out. I've read they might rest 8-9 players which will certainly give Spurs a decent chance.
Cos then I can look forward to some Europa League games in Plzen in February...
were never gonna stop....oh wait... kiev 2018
Walker-Peters skinned a bit too easily after losing possession
Weird to think we were close to Lenglet 4ish seasons ago.
I thought we were just interested and a few other teams including Juventus and Barca were also interested.
I may be wrong with that as I dont know but just dont think we were close
