@Pag still agree with this? Seem pretty happy to finally win a trophy

Just reading the match report, Spurs only had 28% of possession.

Money and prestige.
Being in the CL is a very good carrot to attract new players. The elite players in the world will often float between sides in the CL so if you want to attract the best you need to be playing amongst the best
