Tottenham vs Man City in Champions League quarter-final draw

Tottenham will face Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Spurs will host the first leg at their new stadium before the second leg at Etihad Stadium. Dates are yet to be confirmed, with the round scheduled to be played across April 9-10 and April 16-17.

The winners will then face either Ajax or Juventus in the semi-finals.

How they got there

Tottenham

Tottenham may be faltering in the Premier League but their Champions League form as gone from strength to strength.

Back-to-back defeats to Inter Milan and Barcelona saw their hopes of reaching the knockout stages hanging by the thread. A draw at PSV only worsened their task.

Harry Kane's late double at Wembley downed PSV before Christian Eriksen's 80th-minute winner beat Inter to leave Spurs needing to get a result at Barcelona, which they did thanks to Lucas Moura's 85th-minute equaliser.

Borussia Dortmund came to town in the last-16 first leg, sitting pretty at the top of the Bundesliga, but were blown away as Spurs produced arguably the most complete performance of Mauricio Pochettino's tenure.

Spurs met a barage at the start of the second leg but Kane's one-shot-one-goal salvo saw off the hosts' challenge and sealed a first last-eight spot in seven years.

Man City

Manchester City are arguably the team to beat this season a thumping last-16 triumph will have only further cemented those hopes.

However, it was far from rosey back in September as Lyon ran out 2-1 winners at the Etihad Stadium - points which would prove key to their own progress.

Typically, City brushed themselves off and have not looked back since, winning six of their seven games from there on.

Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick during a 6-0 thrashing of Shakhtar in matchday three but that was not to be their biggest win in the competition so far.

A nervy 3-2 away win away at Schalke in their lasty-16 first leg saw a few nervy faces ahead of the second leg but City hit seven for a 10-2 aggregate win and send a warning to Europe's elite.


When is the final?

The final takes place on June 1 at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
