We already did that in the ICC ... something tells me that our U23s beating them on penalties really pissed them off
Just had a quick look at the latest data from our mate Bert ... https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/trank2020.html Spurs are creeping up the UEFA rankings. Obviously Sevilla + the Goons + Man Utd still have their EL pts up to the KO last 16 to be reckoned with, but the quest to be a CL pot 1 shoo-in without having to proceed too far each season (as the Goons did for some time) is looking good.
Pot 1 is for the CL winners the Europa winners and the champions of the 6 highest ranked leagues. Nothing to do with the club ranking!

We're in the top ten for UEFA co-efficient for the first time since 1964 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficient#UEFA_team_ranking
Well done to Wolves, who under the hack radar have qualified for the EL KO stages. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this stage of the competition when mixed into the PL rat race.

The CL KO stage last 16 draw groups are : 1st in CL group 2nd in CL group --------------------- ------------------------ 1. PSG .............. 9. Real Madrid 2. Munich ........ 10. Spurs 3. Citeh ............ 11. Atalanta 4. Juventus ...... 12. Atlético Madrid 5. Liverpool ..... 13. Napoli 6. Barcelona ... 14. Dortmund 7. Leipzig ......... 15. Lyon 8. Valencia ...... 16. Chelsea Citeh can draw one of 9/12/13/14/15. The Poool can draw one of 9/11/12/14/15. Spurs can draw one of 1/4/6/7/8. Chelsky can draw one of 1/2/4/6/7.
Don't want Juve or Barca yet, as we played them in the last couple of seasons. Don't really care about PSG or Leipzig. Valencia had a million chances to score against Chelsea the other week and their finishing was appalling. They'd probably become incredibly clinical if we played them!
