A lot of the energy is gone out of Spurs play, up to Kane to deliver another important late goal...

The old lady lives to fight another day. Big warriors in that Juventus side however Tottenham had the tie won and lost because they are still a bit naive.

Enjoyed that, a proper game of knockout European cup football.

That's serious! Was looking at the price to qualify at 1-0 for Spurs. And juventus were 20/1!

Tell us you threw a tenner on it at least?

The old lady Juventus are on the way out of the Champions league. Lucky enough Tottenham goal and could have been a very different game if Juventus were given that clear penalty. Andrea Barzagli lucky to avoid red.

Not your best call!

Experience nearly always tells in Europe, as we've seen the last two nights highlight. Despite all the noise around the likes of PSG, Spurs and Liverpool, who is betting against two of Barca, Bayern, Real or Juve playing the final again this year?

A call? stating a fact that they were on the way out at half time. Tottenham were never going to reach the final while Liverpool with their tradition always have a chance.

Never touched it as Spurs had all the play, 6 shot on targets while Juve has no shots! I doubt very much anyone touched it, besides I wouldn't have a tenner
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Spurs lack a killer instinct and I'd put that down to the manager and the way he looks down on the domestic cups. Spurs have managed to blow every high pressure game they've been in the last 3 years, I've touted him as a potential United manager but having second thoughts  although that can change if he starts winning trophies over the next few years.

If Chelsea and Arsenal finish outside the top 4 but win the champions league and Europa league respectively.  Will England have 6 teams in next years champions league?
That was never a square ball!!

Spurs big problem is that a good few of their players are not CL level.  Dier, trippier,  Davies are sold mid table EPL players , Sanchez looks a bit iffy , Dele] Alli is slow as a funeral and the subs looked average .  Lamela didn't show bravery at the end .  Last night they lost to a side who were in  2 of the last 3 CL finals albeit a team in decline .

Spurs are not paying top dollar and truth told are currently overachieving  .  The notion last night's defeat is down to the manager being supposedly dismissive of domestic cups in wrong .

No. 4th place team would lose out.

Ok cheers! Highly unlikely but Arsenal fans would enjoy that if Spurs finished 4th.

Good goals from Arsenal. Milan were poor. Liverpool happy enough to have off loaded thon winger after that performance and Utd must be wondering about letting their lad go !

If Arsenal get as many important Europa league goals out of Mkhitaryan as United did last year they will be more than happy.

If only one of Chelsea/Arsenal win their competition and end outside the top 4, then all 5 will be in Champions League next season. 

4th place will lose out only if both Chelsea and Arsenal win this season's competitions, as competition rules say 5 teams from any association is the max allowed.
