Tottenham Hotspur vs Juventus: 5 reasons why Kane will outshine Dybala

#3 Kane has better supporting players around him

Juventus v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg — Great supporting players like Christian Eriksen make life easier for Kane

In previous years, the biggest question mark surrounding Tottenham has always been the overall strength of their squad – in comparison to Europe’s biggest clubs, Spurs had a relatively thin squad and outside of their first eleven, few of their supporting players could be considered genuinely class. Not so now.

New signings like Lucas Moura, Fernando Llorente and Serge Aurier have provided more depth, while Harry Winks, Erik Lamela and Kieran Trippier have stepped up to the mark in a much stronger way than was initially expected. Add in genuine world-class talents alongside Kane like Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Mousa Dembele, and it means one thing – Tottenham’s squad is now stronger than Juventus’.

That isn’t to say Juventus have a weak side – obviously they don’t as they made the Champions League final in 2016/17 – but it is true that the majority of their key players – the likes of Mario Mandzukic and Sami Khedira - are now ageing and are arguably past their prime – with the exception of Dybala, that is. But with a weaker supporting cast to Harry Kane, can he be expected to outshine the English hitman? I don’t think so.
