I've lived in Germany for eight years now. The commentators here look at English teams and the national side as a bit of a joke (guess we should be thankful for the attention?), but last night was class. The commentators and the players in their post-match interviews all looked as though they'd been to the doctor and been told "I'm afraid your cancer has AIDS".

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I can't see Madrid going 6-0-0. Either us or Dortmund will take points off them.
Why not we are a decent team. In a way it's completely different game for us and the pressure will be on them. they now know that we've got something about us so they will treat us with respect. we must have gained confidence and as we know football is all about confidence.
That's how it should be done. If Sanchez and Foyth have genuine aspirations to become the best at what they do they should surround themselves with the likes of Aurier, Eriksen, Vertonghen and Toby. Calm, in control and aware of the danger and get outs around them. Add Dembele to that list as well as defensively he's sharp, even if it's more solo than the others listed
Poch should be proud of the players they showed how good the squad from last season second-place Spurs are. we had both fallbacks missing A new centre back playing, a new Wing back Alli missing. Wembely and all that. And this results on the back of an away win Everton. It's all pretty good I Say. BVB were petty decent also a level we need to reach.

Madrid were very poor in the first half v Appoel yesterday apparently, I read the Marca minute-by-minute at HT and it was very scathing. Needed a dubious penalty in the 2nd half to settle the nerves.
Ron getting a serious injury over the next couple of weeks would be a real touch
One shall Witness Toby's heart in mouth moment during this play...
And I believe am not the only one shitting my pants thinking of a possible fuckup.
And for many parts of the game serge and Eriksen tried to combine which didn't come off. Their combo would only get better in time.
But they won the World Cup in 19 fucking 66It's hilarious that most of the B team comments are coming from Spam fans, the same Spam fans who spent the day on Tuesday acting as if they just won the CL final after needing flukes to beat Huddersfield.
Like they can comment on CL football.
Post-match interview from Kane is very interesting. Confirms that we were set up to hit them on the counter, great to see Poch learning from previous encounters with high-pressure sides. I think the Liverpool games will be very exciting this season

taste of chloroform in your mouth and a tender arse?
More like that feeling you get when you wake up getting a blowjob
It certainly brought a lot of fun back into the Champions League experience. Haven't felt this way since 3-1 vs. Inter Milan.
Left at the final whistle, pegged it down Wembley Way. Didn't get home until 12.30. Couldn't sleep until 1.30. What a night, what a team.
My only gripe was that I managed to choose a ticket about 10 seats away from where the standing stopped. Fucking miserable bastards behind telling us to sit down. Calling the stewards over. Fuck sake. Oh well I know now. If anyone is interested you need to be no further round to the west than block 131. The first 6 or 7 seats in 132 that are closest to 131 are OK (or at least they were last night) but past that you'll be sitting.

Not if you fall asleep pissed on the night bus.
A lot of people out there are pushing the narrative that this was a lucky win and we didn't deserve it. Which was to be expected of course. If Chelsea or Liverpool had done it exactly like this, they'd all be talking about the genius of the manager, clever performance, etc etc.
Sure there was an element of luck just like there is in most football matches, but that is by no means the only takeaway from this match. There were so many other important factors and the win was largely down to good tactical planning and immense performances from a lot of the guys on the pitch.
