These five Tottenham stars have a lot to prove against Monaco

Tottenham will enter Champions League competition against Monaco on Wednesday without a ton of players with meaningful experience in the competition. That means a lot of Spurs will have a lot to prove on Europe’s grandest stage this week.

Part of Mauricio Pochettino’s challenge this week will be keeping everyone’s ego in check ahead of the match. Each member of his squad is going to desperately want to put on a show in front of the worldwide audience. He’ll have to work hard to make sure each member of the squad focuses on doing their job for the greater good.

Despite his best efforts, some players are still going to feel pressure to do “more than their share” against Monaco. In particular, some of the club’s longer-tenured players are going to want to show everyone they’ve been good enough for Champions League football all along.

Read on to discover the five Tottenham stars who have the most riding on Wednesday’s Champions League opener.
