Tottenham get Champions League omen as Ange Postecoglou plots summer transfer overhaul

Tottenham Hotspur fans will be hoping that the club can repeat what happened the last time they finished a Premier League season with a match at home.

The Premier League fixtures were released on Tuesday morning and Spurs' final game of the season will be at home for the first time in more than half a decade. They will host Brighton on Sunday May 25, meaning they will end the league campaign in front of their home fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time in what will be six years by that point.

Tottenham also have a rarity to kick off the campaign in that they will not begin the league season on a weekend, instead travelling to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester on the evening of Monday August 19.

Some Spurs fans have noticed, and others might start hoping, that the club's season under Ange Postecoglou bears another major similarity to the last time they finished a Premier League campaign at home, albeit with a much happier ending this time around.

That is because back in the 2018/2019 season under Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham drew 2-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their final game, wrapping up a top four finish ahead of Arsenal at their huge new home which had only opened the previous month. Yet there was one more game to be played as Spurs travelled to Madrid a couple of weeks later to play in the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Tottenham lost that night in Spain, but showed that they could take on plenty of fixtures, including reaching the Carabao Cup semi-finals and make it all the way to a European final, which they will be hoping to do again this season in the expanded version of the Europa League, which does not have teams dropping down from the Champions League.

A journey all the way in that competition would mean another big trip to Spain. The Europa League final will be played at the Estadio de San Mames in Bilbao, Spain, on May 21 in the midweek before that last game of the Premier League campaign at home against Brighton.

Postecoglou is expecting to oversee a big season at the north London club and Spurs supporters will be hoping that Tottenham can show their European pedigree as they did in 2019 but this time go all of the way under the Australian and bring some long-awaited silverware home to that empty trophy cabinet.
