Tottenham Hotspur get their Champions League campaign under way on Tuesday when they host Villarreal in north London.
Spurs come into the game fresh off an impressive 3-0 win over West Ham on Saturday and new head coach Thomas Frank will be hoping that his team can take their domestic form into Europe's premier club compeition.
It's four years since Villarreal lifted their first major honour -- the Europa League -- thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Manchester United.
Last year's fifth-placed LaLiga finish was enough to book a spot in the Champions League for Marcelino's side but they come into this one off the back of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Atlético Madrid at the weekend.
