Tottenham 2-4 Barcelona
by Kadeem Simmonds
at Wembley Stadium

EVERYONE has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Tottenham had a plan until they conceded inside two minutes.

They had a plan until Lionel Messi decided he wanted to do Lionel Messi things in the second half and put this game to bed.

The 4-2 scoreline flattered Barcelona, but, as this young Spurs side continues to get to grips with the Champions League, defeats like this can be turned into vital learning experiences.
