Those tactical goal kicks
Goal kicks aren't always the most aesthetically pleasing things, a wallop up field on to the head of a target man.
However, there was a strange little quirk to some of the early ones against Bayern Munich.
Both centre-backs, Juan Foyth and Toby Alderweireld, would come back close to goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, only six yards or so from him on either side.
It was a throw back to the Mauricio Pochettino days with the short goal kicks in recent months, only that wasn't what happened here.
Instead, Gazzaniga would kick the ball long or out to the flanks.
While it might have looked like Alderweireld and Foyth were simply confused, still stuck in their old ways, the tactic appeared to be to make sure two of Bayern's attacking players followed them up the pitch.
That meant that when the kick was taken the middle of the pitch was less cluttered by Bayern players and gave Spurs a better chance of competing for the second ball.
The kicks had to be spot on though and while many hit the mark, Gazzaniga will be ruing the low one that set Bayern away for their second goal.
That Sessegnon chant
Even if others won't remember the match in Munich for too long, Ryan Sessegnon will keep it in mind forever.
The 19-year-old not only made his first start for Spurs and in the Champions League, but he also volleyed home a terrific first goal for the club. That ensured that all three of Spurs' summer signings had scored on their full debut.
The Spurs fans were also prepared, launching into a rendition of KC & The Sunshine Band's Give It Up, only with Ryan Sessegnon instead of the titular words.
It rang out around the Allianz Arena, a chant born at the teenager's boyhood club Fulham and repurposed for the new chapter in his career.
Disappearing Spurs players
Tottenham had no intention of hanging around in Munich any longer than was necessary.
They had a flight to catch from the airport straight after the game and that time pressure even extended to those players substituted getting a move on.
As soon as Giovani Lo Celso, Lucas Moura and Eric Dier left the field of play they were instructed to head straight down the tunnel to get changed.
Some fans up in the gods at the Allianz Arena and watching at home on television thought they had stormed down the tunnel in disgust.
However, it was more about making sure they were ready to get back to Hotspur Way as quickly as possible.
Coman's look to the crowd
What was almost as disturbing as Kingley Coman's knee injury was the look he gave to the crowd as he fell.
The Frenchman had scored the opening goal of the game but before the half hour mark his studs caught awkwardly in the grass and his knee locked up in an unnatural way.
As he stumbled to the floor he turned to the crowd with wild eyes and put his hand over his mouth. It looked like he was making an embarrassed face after falling over with nobody near him.
The truth was that he was in a lot of pain and the Spurs players around him quickly signalled to the bench.
A statement from Bayern Munich said: "The diagnosis from club doctor Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt late on Wednesday night revealed a capsule tear in the left knee.
"Coman also pulled his biceps tendon and jarred the knee joint. The knee will be immobilised for a while with a splint."
Mourinho foiling the press officer's quick exit plan
The instructions were clear as Jose Mourinho's press conference after the game began.
"We will need to be quick as we've got a flight to catch", said the Spurs press officer.
In the end only three questions were put to the Tottenham head coach, although that ended up being more than enough.
That's because Mourinho gave long, detailed answers to all three of them.
In all, his answers lasted eight minutes, roughly the time of a normal post-match press conference anyway.
Mourinho's desire to be thorough had foiled his press officer's hopes but Spurs made their flight home in the end anyway.
