Tottenham Hotspur being ‘dark horses’ to win the Champions League this season.Spurs get their European campaign underway on Wednesday at home against Marseille, but ex-USA midfielder Clint Dempsey has backed his former club to go all the way in the competition.

Tottenham have never won Europe’s most coveted prize, though they reached the final in 2019 where they lost 2-0 to Liverpool.And Dempsey’s bold prediction was enough to stun his fellow CBS SPORTS pundit Thierry Henry, who famously never lost a game against Tottenham as an Arsenal player, with the legend rubbishing the idea that Antonio Conte’s side could challenge the very best.READ MORE: Three things Thomas Tuchel got wrong as disjointed Chelsea lose Champions League openerWhen asked for his prediction, Dempsey said: “I’ll pick a dark horse, I’m not biased at all but I think maybe Tottenham.”Henry instantly blew a raspberry, launching a hilarious look at his colleague before squealing: “WHAT?”Dempsey then continued: “Conte’s a winner, not necessarily in the Champions League. [But] I think it’s them.

They’re looking like they’ve gone strength to strength. They’ve done well in the transfer window.”Beforehand, Henry had cited last season’s semi-finalists Manchester City as his favourites.

Pep Guardiola’s side looked certain to reach the final earlier this year after taking the lead at the Bernabeu, but crashed out after eventual champions Real Madrid launched a dramatic comeback.How far do you think Tottenham will go in the Champions League?
