Tottenham face Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday in what is quite simply a game of seismic importance for Spurs.
Sitting 14th in the Premier League after also being knocked out of the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, the UEFA Europa League represents Tottenham’s last chance to make the 2024/25 campaign a memorable one.
Victory in the competition would not only see Spurs rewarded with a piece of silverware, but it would also see the north Londoners granted a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season.

It could also save Ange Postecoglou his job – amid a claim from sources close to TBR Football which states Tottenham have approach Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace.
Ahead of the UEFA Europa League quarter-final on Thursday, Tottenham fans are beginning to have doubts after seeing footage from training at Hotspur Way.
Clip of Richarlison and Yves Bissouma messing around causes pessimism amongst Spurs supporters
A video has now emerged of Yves Bissouma and Richarlison appearing to mess around in training.
The footage shows the Mali international trying to wave the Brazil international away from him to begin the drill, before the Tottenham No.9 almost kicks the ball into his own face when attempting a skill move.
Of course, it may only be a 20-second clip, but with Tottenham sat 14th in the Premier League and struggling severely, it has not sent out a positive message to the fanbase.
One Tottenham supporter joked that Eintracht Frankfurt should just be given a “bye” into the semi-final at this point, after seeing the Spurs duo not appearing to take training too seriously.
Can we just give Frankfurt a bye at this point https://t.co/j8m2vlYDyh

A second Tottenham fan wrote that the club is in “big big trouble” ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt’s visit to N17 – which is perhaps a slight overreaction, but simply a sign of the times at Spurs.
We’re in big-big trouble, brother.

If that was an overreaction, another Tottenham fan even said to “liquidate the club” – clearly annoyed at the video involving Richarlison and Bissouma.
As I said last night, liquidate the club. It’s over. https://t.co/teIyPOMwVI

A fourth Tottenham fan said the footage sums up the 2024/25 campaign for Spurs.

A fifth fan echoed the first sentiment, suggesting that the UEFA Europa League quarter-final should simply be called off, as supporters lose faith after seeing the video.

Last but not least, a sixth Tottenham supporter referred to Arsenal 3-0 Real Madrid on Tuesday when bemoaning the footage, saying it “used to be us” who conquered the Spanish giants in the UEFA Champions League.
They are referring to the 3-1 win over Real Madrid under Mauricio Pochettino at Wembley in November 2017.

Both Richarlison and Yves Bissouma could leave Tottenham
The Spurs duo look pretty disinterested in the training footage – which could be put down to the fact both have uncertain futures at Tottenham.
TBR Football understand Tottenham are open to selling Richarlison this summer – with Everton keen on bringing the South American back to Merseyside. Spurs were even willing to sell the forward last summer when clubs in Saudi Arabia showed interest.
Furthermore, Spurs are also willing to offload Bissouma – who is a rumoured target for Aston Villa.
