Tottenham will play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last-16 as they seek solace in European football amid their perilous Premier League position.
Despite being dragged into a relegation scrap at home, Spurs impressed during the league phase and finished fourth in the table behind only Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
They won five of their eight matches, and only lost once - with that defeat coming against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc de Princes.
Spurs won the Europa League last season despite their poor Premier League form - although the odds on them repeating the trick look incredibly slim.
However, they will play Atletico Madrid in the last-16, setting up just a second ever meeting with the Spanish side after the 1963 Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup final, as Spurs became the first English side to win a European title.
The two legs will take place on Tuesday 10 March, in the Spanish capital, and Wednesday 18 March at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Should they progress past Atletico, Tottenham will face either Newcastle or Barcelona in the quarter-finals. As Tottenham are fourth seeds, they are guaranteed to be at home in the second leg until the semi-finals.
If Tottenham reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2019, when they lost to Liverpool in the Madrid final, they know they would play one of four teams:
They are Bodo/Glimt, Sporting CP, Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal.
Tottenham will be at home in the second leg, unless they play top seeds Arsenal.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Chelsea
Galatasaray vs Liverpool
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
Atalanta vs Bayern Munich
Newcastle vs Barcelona
Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham
Bodo Glimt vs Sporting CP
