Tottenham kick off their Champions League campaign with a clash against Villarreal next Tuesday, but there is one very ominous stat for the Lilywhites ahead of that game.Tottenham have got a relatively favourable Champions League draw, and have a fairly winnable start to the league phase, starting at home to Villarreal and then travelling to Bodo/Glimt and Monaco, before hosting Copenhagen.Spurs fans believe their side has a great chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League on the back of their draw.Some may even believe that Thomas Frank’s men have a fighting chance of finishing in the top eight and sealing direct qualification to the round of 16.Photo by SpursWebTottenham’s concerning record against Spanish oppositionWhile Spurs have an easy start to the competition, they have a tough end to the first round, with Paris Saint-Germain, Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt being their final four opponents in the league phase.The North Londoners will thus want to get as many points as possible from the first four games and would not want to leave themselves with too much to do in the back half of the league phase.However, if history is anything to go by, Spurs may not find it easy to make a winning start to the tournament.Ahead of their clash against Villarreal, Prime Sport have revealed that the Lilywhites have won just one of their 13 matches against Spanish sides in Europe over the last 50 years.Tottenham's record vs Spanish clubs in the last 50 years βͺοΈπ¬They kick off their 25/26 UCL campaign ππππ on Prime next Tuesday vs Villarreal! πͺπΈ (UK & Ireland only) pic.twitter.com/K3xNHiH8sS— Amazon Prime Video Sport (@primevideosport) September 9, 2025 Why this stat may not mean much against VillarrealOut of these 14, at least six games were against Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Champions League at a time when those sides had galactico teams.A couple of the other were against a strong Sevilla side under Juande Ramos, who went on to win the Europa League.Tottenham will believe that they can get the better of Villarreal at home despite this record, but they will certainly not be taking the La Liga outfit lightly.READ MORE: Pedro Porro makes Champions League claim after Tottenham draw PSG and Borussia DortmundThe post Tottenham face worrying stat as they prepare for daunting Champions League opener appeared first on Spurs Web.
