‘I’m certain…’ – Michael Owen’s makes an exciting prediction about Spurs UCL campaign
This week, Tottenham Hotspur opened their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Marseille.
Summer signing Richarlison scored twice on his Champions League debut to give Antonio Conte’s squad a crucial victory in their opening group match.
Tottenham strengthened their roster during the summer transfer window, and Conte will look to compete on all fronts with greater depth.
Spurs may not be able to compete with the likes of Manchester City over the course of 38 Premier League games, but they have a squad capable of performing well in knockout competitions.
This season, the London club will undoubtedly be aiming for success in the Champions League.
According to Michael Owen, Spurs should perform well in the European competition this season, and he believes they could reach the semifinals.
“That’s a decent forward line now at Tottenham,” said Owen to BT Sport.
“They’ve got a great mix, I think they could go far in this competition.”
“I’m certain they will get to the knockout stages. I wouldn’t be surprised if they got to a semi-final.
“They’re a very good team, they’re a lot better than they were last year, they’ve got a great team, great stadium, great players – that team is going places.”
Without a question, Tottenham possesses a world-class attacking unit, and Conte is a master coach.
The Italian manager is adept at shutting down the opponent and grinding out victories.
When combined with the quantity of match-winners at Tottenham, they appear to be a fearsome team.
It will be fascinating to see how far they get in the Champions League.
