Tottenham have qualified for the Europa League Round of 32 as group winners

Tottenham Hotspur have qualified from Group J to go into the UEFA Europa League Round of 32, and a report from football.london has listed all the possible opponents Spurs could encounter.

Tottenham won their group on Thursday after goals from Carlos Vinicius and Giovani Lo Celso helped the team to a 2-0 win over Royal Antwerp.

Antwerp were top of the group by 2 points before matchday 6, but Jose Mourinho’s side got the crucial win in London to qualify as group winners. This means we will not face any other group winners.
