Vicario: Spurs will fight for top-eight spot
The Sentinel
|October 24, 2025
GUGLIELMO Vicario knows it will take a “big effort” for Tottenham to finish in the Champions League top eight after Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Monaco.
-
Spurs started their European campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Villarreal, but back-to-back draws and below-par displays on the road at Bodo/Glimt and Monaco have left them 15th in the table.
With Thomas Frank's team set to visit holders Paris St Germain next month and with Borussia Dortmund coming to north London in January, Tottenham may need four wins from their last five league phase fixtures to secure direct entry into the last 16 via a top-eight finish.
“It would be the best option, of course and we will try,” Vicario insisted.
“Eight out of 36 is not even the 25 per cent of teams. So, it is a big effort to do it.
“We will try, but the important thing is to be there, to stay there and to fight for this Champions League.”
