Tottenham star delivers a powerful statement with inclusion in UEFA Champions League Team of the Week
Tottenham Hotspur are determined to make an impression in this season’s UEFA Champions League, and one standout performer has now been rewarded with a place among Europe’s top players from matchday three.
The North London side battled to a hard-fought 0-0 draw against AS Monaco, with fortune playing its part as they avoided defeat despite intense pressure from the French side.
Spurs currently sit just outside the automatic qualification spots, a single point adrift of eighth place. However, with victories in their home games and draws away, they remain well within reach of progression.
Next up for Thomas Frank’s men is a crucial clash against FC København at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Danish coach will be eager for his side to secure their second Champions League win of the campaign.
Guglielmo Vicario earns Champions League Team of the Week honour
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was Tottenham’s standout performer against AS Monaco, playing a pivotal role in earning the point. The Italian produced eight crucial saves—each from inside the box—to keep Monaco at bay and preserve the clean sheet.
His commanding presence and sharp reflexes have not gone unnoticed, with UEFA naming Vicario in their Champions League Team of the Week, making him the only Tottenham player to receive the recognition.
Focus turns to Premier League duties
With European action temporarily behind them, Tottenham now shift their attention to the Premier League, where they face Everton next.
Having managed just one victory in their last five outings, Spurs will be keen to rediscover their rhythm and consistency. Vicario, who had faced criticism from sections of the fanbase in recent weeks, has now silenced many doubters—earning widespread praise for his heroics against Monaco.
