Tottenham Hotspur fans are excited after they landed an 'easier' Champions League group following Thursday's draw in Istanbul.
The north Londoners are making a return to the top-tier European edition after a two-year absence.
During the period, Spurs competed in the Europa League and the recently inaugurated Europa Conference League, a third-tier European football competition.
However, they finally managed to book a spot in this season's Champions League after they finished fourth in the Premier League last term.

Tottenham have been pooled in Group D of the Champions League, where they will be coming up against last season's Europa League winners, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon and last season's French Ligue 1 runners-up Marseille complete the set of four teams in the pool.
The draw is a huge relief for Tottenham, who were initially projected to land the competition's group of death.
A section of Tottenham fans have now claimed that the club has all but secured a place in the competition's knockout round if the draw is anything to go by.
One said:
"Couldn't be much better. Finally we get an easy group."
A second added:
"Decent. Looks like the sort of draw you'd get in the Europa."
