Champions League: Premier League teams Power Rankings after First Legs
By Orri Benatar
Spurs started off slow but engineered a great comeback to draw against Juventus in Turin.
Tottenham had the worst start of any of the sixteen teams who played these last two weeks. Gonzalo Higuain scored twice inside the first ten minutes but Spurs didn’t stop. Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen, got the two away goals to clinch a draw against the runners-up from last season.
Spurs played great in the second half of this one. When they are on, they have one of the most efficient teams in Europe. Kane, Alli, Eriksen, and Son have such great chemistry together, they able to create chances in many forms.

Long shots, crosses, shots in the box, set-pieces, and more, make Spurs the most diverse offense in England and Europe.
The problem is the lack of consistency. Tottenham beat United and then drew with Juventus. Pochettino followed up with a draw at Rochdale in the FA Cup.
The FA Cup might have the magic, but a team who can play this well against the best in Europe, cannot draw to Rochdale. Spurs haven’t reached their maximum potential yet, but, it’s getting closer and closer.
