Tottenham Hotspur begin the Champions League knockout stages later this evening as they welcome Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig to north London.
Jose Mourinho’s men are in fantastic form at the minute, going four unbeaten in the league, including three straight victories.
Ahead of the tonight’s fixture, Spurs midfielder Tanguy Ndombele posted a snap from their training preparations on Instagram, and he’s received glowing praise from fellow Frenchman and teammate Moussa Sissoko.
Sissoko has been sidelined since suffering an MCL tear to his right knee and will be out of action until at least April following surgery last month, but that hasn’t stopped him from encouraging his teammates ahead of their all-important knockout bow.
The 30-year-old has described his midfield compatriot as “le magicien” which is translated to mean ‘the magician’ – something that Spurs fans may not agree with going by their reaction to his last performance.
Where is he from?! Can you name which obscure countries these famous players have represented?
It remains to be seen if Ndombele will feature tonight, but this pre-match picture indeed suggests he will be involved in some form.
