What Tottenham need to qualify for Uefa Champions League knockout stages

Champions League action returns on Tuesday evening with two rounds of fixtures remaining in the group-stage phase.

Tottenham were runners up last season, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the final in Madrid.

New boss Jose Mourinho certainly has history in the completion – and he’s looking to go one-step further this season.

"I love the competition as much as everyone in football.

"Not everyone has the privilege of being a Champions League winner. I have done it two times and would love to add a third."

But they’re not through to the knockout stages just yet.

Here are the current standings in Group B

Pos Team P W D L GD Pts

What Tottenham need to qualify

Spurs will join them if they avoid defeat at home to Olympiacos and Red Star Belgrade fail to beat Bayern in Serbia.

Bayern Munich will be crowned group winners if they defeat Red Star Belgrade or Tottenham fail to beat Olympiacos, having already booked their place in the next round.

Red Star must beat Bayern or hope Spurs do not defeat Olympiacos to keep their hopes of advancing alive, likewise with the Greek side having to win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
