After reaching the Champions League final last season, the general feeling amongst Daniel Levy, Pochettino and co must be for more of the same and to go one step further than just losing finalists. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is time to end the trophy\nhoodoo which has stretched back to 2008 and with yet another appearance in\nEurope\u2019s premier competition provides another opportunity to get over the line.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in order to do so,\nfirst they must progress from a group involving Bayern Munich, Olympiacos and\nRed Star Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do the Lilywhites\nmatch up against their soon to be opponents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bayern Munich<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Four times Spurs and German\ngiants Bayern Munich have met, and it is advantage Germany in the head to\nheads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair first met in the\n1982 Cup Winners Cup at White Hart Lane, the first leg finished 1-1 with Steve\nArchibald netting for the Lilywhites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the second leg in\nMunich saw the German\u2019s run riot with a 4-1 victory in which Chris Hughton\nscored the consolation for Spurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair were drawn with one\nanother a year later in the UEFA Cup 3rd<\/sup> round with Bayern recording\na 1-0 home win before Tottenham gained revenge with a 2-0 win on home soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, Tottenham has won\nonce, with one draw and two defeats against Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olympiacos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have to take yourself\nback to 1972 for the last time these two met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the second round of\nthe UEFA Cup and Tottenham hosted Greek heavyweights Olympiacos in the first\nleg and duly went on to win 4-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Jimmy Pearce brace\ncoupled with a Martin Chivers and Ralph Coates goal each sealed the tie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second leg,\nOlympiacos won 1-0 but by then the damage had already been done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Star Belgrade (Crvena Zvezda)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, after defeating\nOlympiacos in the second round of the 1972\/73 UEFA Cup, Spurs were drawn against\nRed Star Belgrade in the third round for the sides only meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Chivers was once\nagain on the scoresheet as was Alan Gilzean as Spurs took a 2-0 lead to Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to Olympiacos, Red\nStar took a 1-0 win with Tottenham\u2019s first leg lead enough to see them through.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
