Tottenham Hotspur Smears the Image of British Representatives in Europe

Before the Spurs were slaughtered by Bayern 7-2, the English teams had never lost so much at their own headquarters in Europe.

Astonishingly, Tottenham Hotspurs suffered a severe defeat when serving Bayern Munich in London in Matchday 2 of the Champions League.

The host became the goal barn of the German Bundesliga giant, who successfully strafed unmitigated to reach seven goals!

Despite leading first through son-Heung Min, Spurs were then silenced by Serge Gnabry's quat-trick, added by Robert Lewandwoski's brace.

The remaining goal is packed by Joshua Kimmich. Spurs can only add one goal since the opening incision, it was through Harry Kane's penalty kick.

This defeat is a dark record for Spurs in particular and for England in general.

According to Opta, this was a defeat with the biggest margin (5) which the English team had picked at home in various European competitions. In history, no English team has ever been defeated with such a large margin in front of their own public.

Still from the same source, this defeat also marked the first time since 1995 that England's representative conceded seven goals in European competition. At that time, Spurs lost 8-0 to FC Koln in the 1995 Intertoto Cup.

These results make the Lilywhites stuck in third place in Group B with a value of one. There is also the Bavarian firm at the top with a value of six.
