Things have been going really badly for Spurs, and the 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid was a real low point for a number of reasons. Now they face Atletico Madrid again in the second leg, looking to build on a slightly better performance against Liverpool at the weekend.

It would take a heroic effort from Spurs to qualify for the quarter finals, but anything is possible. The reality is that fans would take anything even remotely positive right now. They don't need a 4-0 win. They just need to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
