Tottenham will look to avenge their heartbreak from the Super Cup as they take on European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Thomas Frank’s reign at Spurs kicked off with a silverware near-miss in August’s clash of continental cup winners, with the Europa League holders throwing away a two-goal lead in the last five minutes to lose to heavy favourites PSG on penalties.
While Spurs fans, fresh off their 17th-place league finish with Ange Postecoglou, could take some encouragement from pushing such a strong team to the wire, goodwill towards Frank is now at a stark low after suffering a humiliating 4-1 derby thrashing at the hands of Arsenal on Sunday.
They’ll need a much improved performance against the Parisians, who to nobody’s surprise are top of Ligue 1 but do come into the clash with defeat in Europe relatively fresh on the mind, suffering a 2-1 home loss to Bayern Munich at the beginning of November.
