Harry Kane and Mauricio Pochettino have both declared that Tottenham want to play the best teams the Champions League has to offer.
Spurs go into the last 16 draw in Nyon, Switzerland, on Monday at 11am having topped their group with 16 points, the most amassed by any side in this season's group stage.
They finished above Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund to be seeded for the draw at UEFA's headquarters.
But there are still some potentially difficult ties for Tottenham, who collected their first Premier League win in five games with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Stoke on Saturday.
