Soccer Tottenham facing Real test in group

Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur forward Ancelotti will be reacquainted with old faces in Paris in a Group B that also features Celtic and Anderlecht.

“It’s an exciting group with some great teams and Paris at the top,” said Ancelotti.

“It’s a nice story for me to meet my former club again. As everybody knows, Celtic has incredible support from its fans. And Anderlecht cannot be underestimated as Belgian champion.”

PSG coach Unai Emery, looking to mastermind a much deeper run after last year’s spectacular collapse against Barca, expects his side to join Bayern in the last 16.

“Bayern Munich is a very strong side, and we will be the two favorites,” said Emery.

“After us, there are two teams who are going to want to create a surprise.”

Chelsea, one of a record five English teams to qualify for the group phase, will meet Atletico Madrid in Group C as well as Roma and Qarabag, the first side from Azerbaijan to reach this stage of the competition.

Jose Mourinho will return to Portugal with Manchester United after his team was placed in Group A with Benfica, CSKA Moscow and Basel.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is in Group F, alongside Ukrainian champion Shakhtar Donetsk, Napoli and Feyenoord while Liverpool will square off with Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and Maribor in Group E.

“There are difficult groups with Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus and Real Madrid, and not to get them is of course more good than bad,” said Klopp.

“You want to test yourself against the best, and Real Madrid is the best at the moment.” 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Portuguese Super Cup FA Cup League Cup Premier League FA Community Shield Premier League Champions League Club World Cup FA Community Shield Premiere League League Cup King’s Cup La Liga Spanish Super Cup Champions League Club World Cup European Super Cup King’s Cup Champions League European championship Portugal Signs 5-year contract with Club World Cup La Liga Champions League Nationality: Portuguese Position: Forward International caps: 143 (since 2003)** International goals: 75** Age: 32 years old Height: 1.85 m *Forbes magazine, pre-tax earnings June 2016-June 2017 **As of Jun 28, 2017 Ballon d’Or World soccer player of the year European Golden Boot European Golden Boot Ballon d’Or World soccer player of the year Ballon d’Or UEFA best player in Europe European Golden Boot World soccer player of the year European Golden Boot UEFA best player in Europe Ballon d’Or
