Tottenham Hotspur stars Harry Kane and Eric Dier look forward to facing “sleeping giant” Inter, Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
The Nerazzurri won the Treble in 2010 under Jose Mourinho, but have been out of Europe’s top tournament for a few years.
“It’s a brilliant draw, games at famous stadiums like the Nou Camp, the San Siro, it’s a really good draw, one to relish,” striker Kane told the official Spurs website.

“It’s a brilliant draw, games at famous stadiums like the Nou Camp, the San Siro, it’s a really good draw, one to relish,” striker Kane told the official Spurs website.
Tottenham beat Real Madrid at Wembley and finished ahead of the eventual trophy winners in the group stage last season before going out to Juventus in the Round of 16.
“We showed people last season that we can compete at this level, particularly when you look at the games against Real Madrid, who went on to win the tournament.
“Barca will be a different test but to play in the Nou Camp against some of the best players in the world…it’s fantastic to play in these types of games.
“You want to play in big games against the best players and this draw gives us a chance as a Club to once again test ourselves against the best.
"PSV will be tough, a huge team in Holland and Inter as well, a great history. As I said, it’s a brilliant draw.”
Dier is looking forward to a trip to San Siro and warns the Milanese club are revving up for something special.
“We’re in the Champions League to play the best teams and Barcelona are definitely one of them. Having played against Real Madrid last season, there is some symmetry to it, playing Barca this time around. It’s a fantastic challenge for us, one we’ll look forward to and one we’re ready for.
"You want to test yourselves against the best players in the world, but we don’t want to just test ourselves, we want to compete against them. That’s definitely the case with Barcelona.
"Inter have been a bit of a sleeping giant in the last few years. The Club has history against them in the Champions League so it’s great to play a team like that and PSV, another very well-known European side and Dutch teams are always very strong and play a nice style of football – every game will bring up different challenges and it’s exciting for us. We’ll be ready for all of those challenges."
