Who needs Harry Kane anyway? This is not an entirely serious question. The correct answer is, of course every club team in elite European football. But not always Tottenham Hotspur. As Kane limped off after 55 minutes of this Champions League quarter-final Mauricio Pochettino’s team were once again asked to perform without their star and leading scorer. And once again they did exactly that.
Spurs had unveiled their new pre-match montage before kick-off, a film narrated by Sir Kenneth Branagh, who said stirring things in a clipped voice over footage of misty Spursy moments. The south stand held up its wall of plastic bags to spell out To Dare Is To Do, an iconic image so iconic the Spurs media department had already called it iconic before it had even happened.
