Tottenham Hotspur goes down against Bavaria, but trumps in the Premier League. The question arises whether the Europa League winner and fast relegation is really ready for the Champions League.

“We will play in the Champions League, so we have to be prepared for these games,” said Tottenham’s former Bayern professional Mathys Tel.
In the subsequent game of the UEFA super cup against Paris Saint-Germain that looked much better. The Spurs played a strong match there, at times it even seemed as if they could win against PSG. Only in the penalty shootout did the Spurs have to give up the CL winner.
With such a changeable performance of the team, the question arises: How ready for the Champions League is Tottenham Hotspur really?
After the sobering appearance at Bayern, the Spurs were allowed to take hope again by playing against PSG.
Tottenham were 2-0 in front shortly after the break, still skillfully performing the Parisians until the 85th minute. In the penalty shootout, the Spurs even presented until the dream of the title burst through misses by Micky van Veen and Tel.
However, the Spurs showed themselves as an equal opponent – in contrast to the appearance against FC Bayern. And just a few days after the Super Cup, the team won their opening game in the Premier League 3-0 against FC Burnley.

A month ago it looked as if Tottenham was finding a forward-looking solution to this problem: A record transfer for the Nottingham player Morgan Gibbs-White never came up with.
Nevertheless, a lot could still move in Tottenham: negotiations on an obligation to commit offensive wings Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace) are supposed to run, and Savinho from Manchester City is currently being traded hot.

City should currently be stubborn: The ex-champion Pep Guardiola, according to media reports, rejected a first offer of considerable 70 million euros. Savinho himself is interested in leaving City.
Thomas Frank strikes a different tone
The new coach Thomas Frank has to give the Spurs a new face with the existing squad. Tottenham is said to have paid almost twelve million euros to get rid of the Danes from FC Brentford. The 51 -year -old led the “Bees” to the Premier League in 2021 and held there for four years – even in 10th place last season and thus clearly ahead of Tottenham.
The Spurs should now change after a season that in the league. Compared to the more aggressive style of play Poseteclous, Frank relies on a more balanced game and a more disciplined and structured defense, in which Bayern-Flop Joao Palhinha is also supposed to play his role.
This worked rather mediocre against FCB, in the following games against PSG and Burnley much better.
