The hosts scored early in the match, with Brahim Diaz finding the back of the net after just 6 minutes. Milan continued to pile on the pressure as they looked to double their advantage.

Spurs on the other hand were very passive, and some may say quite negative. They will have to find a way to add spark in their performances if they are to make it to the last 8.

Rafael Leáo was scintillating throughout the encounter and was always a threat to the Londoners.

“I’m very happy with my team. We knew that this was a big game, and everyone knew what their role entailed against such a strong team.” The Portugal international told UEFA after the match.

“I think that we did a good job and got a great result.

“In my opinion the final score shave have been 3-0 because we had a lot of chances to score again, but the most important thing is that we won.

“During the week, the coach showed me how to take advantage of the space in behind and how to run forward, get the ball and turn at the right time and then, one v one, find one of my teammates like Brahim [Diaz] or Oli [Oliver Giroud] up front.

“We’ve done our job, but we still have a game left to play in London. We know that it’ll be tough, but we’ll try to win it and go through.” He concluded.
