Last season was an emotional one for Tottenham’s players and fans as it was the final one to be played at the old White Hart Lane ground. Of course, the Champions League games never took place at the Lane, to begin with – instead, they were played at Wembley.
The move to England’s national stadium proved to be a disaster, as Spurs never looked comfortable there and only took four points there – beating CSKA Moscow but losing to Monaco and drawing with Leverkusen.

This season sees Tottenham play all of their home games at Wembley. While it seems like a huge risk given their form there last season, in reality, it may well prove to be a good move – while Spurs never truly felt at home there in 2016-17, starting the season with all of their home games at the massive stadium should make it truly feel like Tottenham’s home ground, as it does for the England national side – the spine of which comes from the Spurs squad.
If Tottenham can hit the ground running at Wembley in the Premier League in the season’s early games, by the time the Champions League begins in September, Wembley could be a fortress for Spurs – which will be bad news for the rest of Europe’s elite.
