5. Hugo Lloris

The French keeper has a lot to prove on Wednesday as a result of his Spurs captaincy. There’s no question he has the personal ability to play at the highest level, but can he lead Tottenham to glory on such a grand scale?

In truth, there’s nothing Lloris can do at this point to really change his team’s level of preparation for the match. Sure, he can have some last-minute talks with some of the club’s younger players, but he’s been preparing this team for Champions League football for years.

When he steps on the pitch at Wembley against Monaco, many Spurs fans will feel immense pride that the club have finally validated Lloris’ belief in Tottenham. He’s had many opportunities to leave in search of Champions League football, but on Wednesday his faith in the club will be fully repaid. Now we’ll see if he can lead Tottenham to Champions League glory.
