Milan - LLLLW ------ Spurs - LWWWL
The Champions League knockout round begins today, with AC Milan set to play host to us for the first leg of their last-16 tie. Milan returned to winning ways with a narrow victory over Torino on Friday, while we need to pick ourselves up after being thrashed 4-1 by Leicester at the weekend.
Spurs
After recovering from gallbladder surgery,Conte's return to the touchline looked set to coincide with a positive result when Bentancur gave us the lead in Saturday's away encounter against Leicester, but it turned out to be a forgettable afternoon for us.
Mendy, Maddison, Iheanacho and Harvey all got on the scoresheet to condemn us to a heavy 4-1 defeat, which makes our 1-0 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City feel like a distant memory.
We will now have to pick themselves up and dust ourselves down as we dream of replicating our memorable run to the Champions League final, which took place under Pochettino's guidance in the 2018-19 campaign.
In contrast, we will not be keen to relive memories created from our most recent last-16 appearance, where we were thumped 4-0 on aggregate by RB Leipzig, which included a miserable 3-0 defeat in the away leg, but that took place under Mourinho's watch rather than Conte's, who may be relishing a meeting with an old foe.
Conte's recent record against Tuesday's opponents makes for positive reading if you are us, with eight of his last nine matches against Milan yielding a victory, including a 3-0 win in his most recent away game against the Rossoneri in 2021 when he was manager of their city rivals Inter.
Milan
After enduring a torrid seven-game winless run - which included defeats to their great rivals Inter in both the Italian Super Cup and the league - AC Milan knew that only a win would do against Torino in Friday's Serie A offering.
The Rossoneri had only been knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Ivan Juric's side last month, but they exacted revenge for that extra-time defeat, with Olivier Giroud heading home just after the hour mark to guide Milan to just their second win of 2023.
An unconvincing but precious victory helps alleviate some of the pressure that had been building on Stefanio Pioli, but with his side 18 points adrift of league leaders Napoli and out of the domestic cup, the Milan boss needs a positive performance from his side in the Champions League.
Although Milan are seven-time European champions, Tuesday's meeting with us will represent the club's first Champions League knockout round tie since they were beaten 5-1 on aggregate by Atletico Madrid in the last 16 in the 2013-2014 season.
The reigning Italian champions have been eliminated at the last-16 stage in five of their previous six appearances in the competition - including the 2011-12 campaign when they lost 1-0 on aggregate to us - and having failed to win any of their four competitive meetings with us, Milan know that they will have their work cut out to progress to the quarter-finals.
