Champions League Review: a tough night for Premier League team

Match Day 2 of the UEFA Champions League is in the books, and it was a tough night for Premier League sides as Liverpool lose in Napoli, and Barcelona beat Spurs in a bashed up Wembley Stadium.

What’s the point?

The Premier League could choose their best 11 players from the Big Six, and they would still be on the end of a hammering against a Lionel Messi inspired Barcelona.

In the past 11 times, English sides have faced the Catalan giants, they have lost nine of them. So when the news filtered through that Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Mousa Dembele and Jan Vertonghen would miss the match through injury, you knew there was more chance of the UK Government bringing back hanging than Spurs getting anything from their home tie against the Spanish champions.
