The worst thing that happened to Spurs in their Wembley tie with Monaco was an injury to Nabil Dirar. This saw Lemar thrown into the fold. The pacy attacker gave Ben Davies a hard time and scored the second goal of the game. Whichever full-back faces him this time will have to have a big game. If there’s any justice in the world, his opponent will win the battle.
At Wembley, the Brazilian centre-back was superb. Harry Kane, and substitute Vincent Janssen both struggled up against the man nicknamed ‘Blackenbauer' – yes, really (see here for an explanation of the nickname).
