Spurs tipped to reach Champions League semifinals

Premier League pundit Michael Owen believes Tottenham can have a long Champions League run this season.

Spurs saw their European campaign off to the perfect start by beating Marseille 2-0 last week.

Richarlison scored both of Tottenham's goals on his Champions League debut, and Antonio Conte's side travel to Sporting CP on Wednesday in their second group stage game. Sporting CP are currently top of the group after beating Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0.

"They've got a great mix, I think they could go far in this competition," Owen told BT Sport.

“I'm certain they will get to the knockout stages. I wouldn't be surprised if they got to a semi-final. They're a very good team, they're a lot better than they were last year, they've got a great team, great stadium, great players – that team is going places."
