Marseille fans pull off a dirty move to disturb Tottenham Hotspur players ahead of their Champions League clash

A glimpse of the Tottenham Hotspur vs Marseille match at the Tottenham Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur players were awakened twice at midnight by Marseille supporters who let off fireworks outside the hotel. There were also talks about the security of the Spurs players leading up to the game and Marseille fans targeted Tottenham’s hotel in order to break their sleep and make them feel fatigued before the crucial Champions League clash which will decide who will go to the next round.

Tottenham Hotspur needs just one point from tonight’s match to progress to the last 16 but Marseille does have the advantage in the tie with their home supporters behind their back. Spurs manager Antonio Conte who has achieved great success up till this point with taking his team to the Champions League faces a tough test at the Stade Velodrome.

Marseille fans fired their fireworks twice at 1:30 am and again at 4:30 am and the explosions from rockets and streamers are now considered to be a deliberate tactic to disturb the fans before the game. Spurs will be without manager Antonio Conte after he received a red card in the last match against Sporting Lisbon last week.

Can Antonio Conte achieve great things at Tottenham Hotspur?

Antonio Conte was brought in last winter to replace Nuno Espirito Santo as their manager and since then has never looked back. From taking Tottenham Hotspur to the Champions League to now challenging for the Premier League, it is only time Conte provides the Spurs fans with the silverware they have all been long wanting for.

Last week at the away game against Sporting Lisbon, Conte was furious due to the stoppage-time winner from Harry Kane being ruled out by VAR for offside and saw a red card for his unprofessionalism. The goal could have sealed Spurs’ round of 16 qualification but now the team has to put up a tough fight in order to do so and with their manager not on the sidelines, it is going to be a difficult one for them.
