It’s all or nothing for the North London side when they host Inter at Wembley on Saturday, as they must win to keep their last 16 hopes alive
Tottenham have everything to play for when they host Inter at Wembley on Wednesday to contest their penultimate Champions League group stage fixture, as only a win will keep their hopes of progressing to the last 16 stage alive.
Barcelona are the only team from Group B (and the current group stage) to have cemented their spot in the knockout phases, and Spurs must win against the Italians to maintain a slim chance of qualification.
A point for Inter, who sit three points above the Lilywhites in the table, will send the Italian side through.

Star striker Harry Kane kept the North London side fighting for a chance of progression when he scored a dramatic double against PSV in their most recent European outing.
It’s all or nothing when Tottenham face Inter on Wednesday, however, and they must win in order to retain hopes of qualification. In the event that they manage a win, they will then need to better Inter’s result against PSV when they face Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the final group game.
The Lilywhites opened their Champions League in catastrophic fashion, stunned 2-1 away at the San Siro in their opening game and then falling to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Barcelona on home turf.
They will, however, have momentum heading into the fixture following their brilliant 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the Premier League.
A point for Inter will be enough to see them through to the last 16, and they will join Barcelona in progressing as group winners.
The Catalan side are the only team to have secured their round of 16 status heading into matchday five, though their position has not yet been confirmed – currently sit top of the table with 10 points. Barcelona will secure first place if they manage to win their final game against Tottenham.
Young Argentine prospect Juan Foyth will not be included in Tottenham’s Champions League squad as the club had already exceeded their limit of foreign players on the books, something that Pochettino has lamented about.
“I’m so disappointed from the beginning,” the Spurs coach told reporters.
“It’s a mistake we made that at this level of football we cannot repeat again. For different reasons we need to find a solution.
