But in order to get the best out of yourself, you have to play where you can feel most comfortable and do what you can do best.” He was always a good guy, a good man, on the pitch and off the pitch. It would be a multi-purpose home for the club. Callum Hudson-Odoi left Chelsea to join Bayer Leverkusen on loan over the summer. The project would have cost €2.5 billion apparently. Should Tottenham win, it would provide a substantial blow to Liverpool's season and their hopes of the top four. The book claims that Perez considered moving the storied Liga club from the Santiago Bernabeu to a new abode. The real test of the death of 'Spursy-ness' comes over the weekend, though. On the balance of probabilities, Tottenham just made Liverpool's Champions League campaign infinitely harder. Spurs have been less Spursy in recent years, increasingly becoming a force in the Premier League and Champions League, but still for the majority of the time playing the Spurs way. Now, there is a caveat to add here: Real Madrid and PSG currently are [yet to be confirmed](https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/wta-finals/2022/iga-swiatek-s-thanks-to-ons-jabeur-and-coco-gauff-s-plan-to-bounce-back-from-loss-wta-finals-diary_sto9210888/story.shtml)as group winners, but sit top of Group F and H, facing matches against Celtic and Juventus, respectively. This means that Liverpool - who finished second behind Napoli in [Group A](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/champions-league/standings.shtml)- now face the unenviable task of potentially playing Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Porto or PSG in the round of 16.

Tottenham star Son Heung-min could need to miss the Premier League clash vs Liverpool on Sunday.

Without our coach it was even more difficult for him in the stand and it's a great winning team - that's the most important thing." Despite Son scoring just five goals in an underwhelming campaign, it will be a major blow for head coach Conte to lose the player for the visit of Liverpool. That will prevent Son from taking part in training or matches until Monday, at the earliest.

Champions League win in Marseille raises questions about Spurs' style – but there is a chance to build something. Harry Kane applauds the Spurs fans.

This is the way of this team. This feels like an oversight, or a misreading of the rules. From there the second half was gripping, but gripping in a way that shouldn’t have been required. Højbjerg won it at the death with a wonderful finish. There was even something agreeable in Clément Lenglet scoring the equaliser, excellent on the night, delighted with his moment and, let’s face it, a quiz question in the making in years to come. And whatever the manner of victory, this is a significant moment. And through this there was a familiar sadness about watching Harry Kane in this team. Take the football out of this. At the very least, does it have to be this hard? Spurs are also the 10th richest football club in the world. Failing to make it through this group would have been a devastating blow: financially, but also in terms of heft and lustre. Conte is a managerial paradox in his own right.

The noise that greeted the goal was deafening. Instead Hojbjerg's late strike condemned them to bottom spot in the section. The result was earned in adversity for the Premier League side, who were without the presence on the touchline of the suspended Conte and also lost Son Heung-min to a head injury in the first half.

"On the pitch, we didn't know (we were third in the group at 1-1). "He lived the game in the crowd, it's not normal. We were desperate to keep pushing to the end. "We're not sure if it is concussion yet. In the second this aspect changed and we played a fantastic second half. We need to try to play all 90 minutes at the same level."

A hard-fought win over Marseille at a noisy Stade Velodrome saw Spurs come from behind to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Antonio Conte's January transfer budget looks set to be revised after Tottenham secured their place in the Champions League knockout stages.

However, he appears certain to miss Sunday’s Premier League clash with Liverpool in north London. Matt Doherty also has the same tendency, while Conte won’t even try Djed Spence. Tottenham still look light in a few areas. In terms of where Conte will look to strengthen, a playmaker and new centre-back are high on his agenda. However, the Italian looks set for another cash injection to bolster his squad in the new year.

We need to try to play all the 90 minutes in the same level." "The stadium was very hot in the first half and sometimes it is normal to give the possibility to the opponent to play, to use the energy you have in the second half. "It is an important lesson for the future. We stayed in the match. In the difficulties, we didn't lose our minds. "Spurs couldn't put three passes together in the first half," Merson told Soccer Special.

But he is even more vital to South Korea. Tottenham said in a statement: “We can confirm that Heung-Min Son will undergo surgery to stabilise a fracture around his left eye. Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min will have surgery on a facial injury sustained in the club’s Champions League victory over Marseille on Tuesday, placing his participation at the 2022 World Cup with South Korea at risk.

A late strike from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg secured Tottenham's place in the Champions League last 16 with a 2-1 win away to Marseille.

Sanchez was desperate for a goal and was only denied by poor fortune and desperate defending, but his front-footed display from the first whistle was key to energising his side and pushed them onto Spurs from the off. WHAT NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM? THE BIGGER PICTURE: Injuries ought to have slowed the game down in Tottenham's favour in an interrupted first half, but instead they drowned under the deafening noise coming from the Stade Velodrome.

Striker says team need to balance risk with caution more effectively after revival at Marseille provides vital lift.

“We’re a team that always feels like we’re going to get chances, especially in the second half of games when teams get tired,” Kane said. But he was a strong outlet, getting his team up the pitch, linking the play with lovely passes and driving into the box. “It was really important [to reach the last 16] just before the World Cup,” he said. Kane was brilliant in the second half against Marseille, even though he knew he should have put away one of his chances. The problem has been an inability to balance caution with risk and Spurs found it particularly difficult on a wild night in Marseille when they knew that a draw would have been enough to qualify, most likely as runners-up. Kane talked about how there was no panic at half-time, partly because the team had been there before and more frequently than they would like. Are Spurs lulling opponents into a false sense of security, luring them in to punch themselves out? Harry Kane put it as the pros tend to put it: heavy on understatement, a disappointing lack of drama. In the second half, we went man-for-man and took a bit more risk. Because yet again, for the sixth game in a row, Spurs had not turned up in the first half. The game swung when Clément Lenglet glanced in Ivan Perisic’s 54th-minute free-kick, and despite a couple of late scares Spurs were value for their win and progress as group leaders, which was secured by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s last-gasp breakaway goal. “We’ve got to find a balance between dropping and pressing.

Here are all the teams Tottenham could be drawn against in the last 16 after securing Group D top spot in the Champions League.

At present, they look set to be followed by AC Milan, Red Bull Leipzig and Benfica but that could all quite easily change on Wednesday. - Benfica - Chelsea* - Bayern* - Porto* - Napoli*

Son Heung-min's World Cup dream could be in tatters after Tottenham confirmed he needs surgery on a fractured eye socket.

The north London club did not put a timeframe on his return. The news will be met with despair in South Korea as Son is their captain and a national hero. The South Korean suffered the injury during Spurs’ 2-1 Champions League win over Marseille on Wednesday and he will undergo surgery to stabilise the fracture.

Every time I run one, and sometimes during training this year, I resolve to never do it again because the physical pain and emotional/mental toll are significant. I don’t know what to do now. Then I found a patch of grass and allowed myself to finally collapse. Much of it is a daze, but I do remember finding metal railing to lean on after finishing. Goodness, what is there to do now? This meant hours spent exposed in the sun and stifling mid-Atlantic heat, running distances at a faster pace than I used to think was well out of my physical capabilities.

Tottenham are thought to be among the clubs interested in signing N'Golo Kante next summer.

"He’s very passionate and if he cannot communicate with us he struggles a lot," he said. Conte also oversaw a spirited Champions League victory over Marseille on Tuesday night that booked Tottenham's spot in the knockout rounds. The Italian has turned Spurs into a Premier League force with his side sitting third in the table after 13 matches. Having completed a high-profile transfer from Leicester in 2016, Kante won the Premier League under Conte during his first year as Blues boss. Conte may well be an advantage in himself, given that he and the midfielder enjoyed their time together at Chelsea. Spurs are one of several teams thought to be keeping an eye on developments involving the Frenchman, whose stint at Stamford Bridge could soon wind down.

“So that’s a little bit of good news that I am able to add in there that he should hopefully be allowed to play with a mask. Gold makes a point of not knowing how long Son will be out for. It is one of those situations where the mid-season break makes the pill slightly easier to swallow for Tottenham fans. “But it all depends on his recovery and the recovery period and how that works for him. But with the World Cup just around the corner, Son cannot afford to suffer a serious injury. He was struggling to keep his balance once back on his feet.

Here are our talking points from Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 victory at Marseille to seal their progress to the Champions League round of 16.

My desire, my will and of the players is to do our best and give satisfaction to the fans. For sure there will be the time to speak with the club. He said of the injury "it's not bad" in the aftermath of the game and explained that Son was feeling better after he came back in the changing room and was able to join in the celebrations after the game. I’m not the person who has to explain this to my club." For the victory will bring more finances to the kitty as reaching the round of 16 earns Tottenham an additional £8.2m in prize money alone, without taking into account TV revenue, gate receipts and more. So far the club have declared an equity injection of £100m to Companies House, which was filed in late June. That changed in the second half and the mood turned inside the stadium. The Croatian in particular made that goal-saving block to deny Sanchez at a crucial point. His composure on the ball is Mousa Dembele-esque on occasions and his team-mates trust him with it implicitly. Tottenham at the moment just can't seem to stop themselves naturally dropping and sitting back. Lucas Moura had a pass success rate of just 61.1% and gave the ball away six times with poor touches, far more than any other player on the pitch. "Also thanks to Antonio because I learned lessons, a lot of lessons from him, and this evening I used them."
