Spurs stronger than last season, says Inter manager Benitez
Inter boss Benitez has been handed a quick reunion with Spurs after the holders were paired with the north Londoners in Champions League Group A. Liverpool regularly finished in the Premier League top four during Benitez’s six-year reign, which ended in the summer when they could only manage seventh place.
Tottenham, meanwhile, qualified for the Champions League for the first time and have so far impressed in Europe’s elite club competition, having matched Inter’s feat of taking four points from their opening two group games.
