#3 Do Tottenham have what it takes to topple Barcelona?

Huddersfield Town v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Can Spurs put their opening day defeat behind them?

Tottenham's first game in the Champions League ended in disaster when Inter Milan stunned the London club with a late comeback in Italy.

Mauricio Pochettino's men are one of the four teams that make up Group B, which has been labelled by many pundits as this year's 'group of death'.

Two consecutive defeats in the group could find Spurs playing catch-up, especially if Inter Milan can pick up another victory away at PSV Eindhoven.

Unfortunately for Tottenham, their second group game is against reigning La Liga champions, Barcelona. Barca looked incredibly comfortable in their first game, defeating PSV 4-0 at home, and given Spurs' inconsistent form so far this season, things aren't looking too good for the North London club.

That being said, Barcelona aren't in the best form themselves at the moment, with the Catalan giants failing to win any of their last three La Liga games.

Spurs showed that they could compete with the best in Europe last season when they topped Real Madrid 3-1 at Wembley, could we see a repeat of that scoreline on Wednesday?
