Champions League: English media sing praise of Liverpool, Tottenham

Tuesday night was one of those rare nights where football fans were proud to be English.

With the Manchester contingents certain to make the last-16, attention switched to Liverpool and Tottenham.

Both didn’t disappoint, joining the pair in the business end.

The Reds defeated Napoli 1-0 while Spurs pulled a surprise 1-1 draw at Barcelona.

What this means is that four Premier League sides will partake in Monday’s draw.

Here’s what the English media had to say.

They’ve done it!
