Why Spurs’ new stadium won’t be full capacity for the Champions League match

Tottenham played their first game at their new stadium last Wednesday against Crystal Palace in what was a historic occasion for the club.

Everything went as planned as the Spurs fans created a brilliant atmosphere, and saw their side overcome the South Londoner’s 2-0 courtesy of second-half goals from Son Heung-Min and Christian Eriksen.
