Reviewing Tottenham's Champions League History

I'm reflecting on Tottenham's past performances in the Champions League. In the 2017-18 season, they faced Dortmund, Real Madrid, and APOEL, not achieving clean sheets against Dortmund or Real. Moving to 2018-19, they had mixed results, including a clean sheet against Inter but losing a key match to Ajax. As of now, Tottenham isn't in the Champions League, having last participated in 2022-23. I wonder if they qualified for the Europa League for the 2024-25 season based on their fifth-place finish last season.Analyzing Tottenham's UCL Eligibility

For the 2024-25 season, due to changes in the Champions League format and association rankings, the Premier League got an extra berth, but it went to Serie A and Germany instead. The Premier League missed out after poor European results, so only the top four teams qualify for the UCL. Since Spurs finished fifth, they’d only be in the Europa League, meaning they won’t have Champions League home matches. This makes the headline about four consecutive clean sheets at home seem mismatched.Reviewing Spurs' UCL Home Matches

In the 2019-20 Champions League, Tottenham had a mixed bag of home results: they lost 2-7 to Bayern, beat Red Star 5-0 with a clean sheet, and won against Olympiakos 4-2. Fast forwarding to 2022-23, they had clean sheets against Marseille (2-0) and AC Milan (0-0), but not four consecutive clean sheets overall. While they had a sequence of clean sheets in earlier years, interruptions from non-clean sheets prevent a run of four. It’s interesting to notice these patterns and gaps!Examining Spurs' Clean Sheets

The sequence of Tottenham’s home matches shows varied results. After a 2-7 loss to Bayern in 2019, they had a clean sheet against Red Star but then didn’t keep one against Olympiakos. Jumping to 2022, they beat Marseille 2-0 with a clean sheet, but the next matches were inconsistent. This may lead to confusion about the headline. I wonder if the user is referencing an article and asking if Spurs' home form has indeed improved!Clarifying Clean Sheets Inquiry

It seems the user wants a concise analysis of Tottenham's home clean sheets, particularly regarding defense and tactics. I should acknowledge that Spurs aren't currently in the Champions League and ask if they're referring to past seasons or the Europa League. If they are mentioning consecutive clean sheets, I can highlight key factors like improved defensive structure, goalkeeper performance, and center-back partnerships. I can also offer to provide a match list if they share a specific timeframe. Here’s a draft:

• Clarify: Are you referring to four consecutive UCL home clean sheets? Spurs aren't in UCL this season; could it be about past seasons or the Europa League?
• If true, reasons: improved defensive structure, speed with Van de Ven, leadership from Romero, Vicario's shot-stopping, and enhancements in set-pieces.
• Sustainability indicators: watch xGA at home, opponent shot quality, and set-piece xGA.
• Would you like a match-by-match list?
