Tottenham's Champions League campaign began in disappointment as an English club record home crowd watched them beaten 2-1 by Monaco at Wembley.
Spurs were given a harsh lesson in the ruthlessness of European football as goals from Bernardo Silva and Thomas Lemar were enough to give the French side an opening victory in Group E.
Toby Alderweireld's header had given Mauricio Pochettino's side hope on the stroke of half-time, but while Tottenham had chances to snatch a point, Monaco held firm for a surprise win.

MOAN OF THE MATCH
Dele Alli started the game in a deeper holding midfield position next to Eric Dier but he never looked comfortable. When Pochettino brought Mousa Dembele on at half-time, Alli was much more effective further forward and Spurs were less exposed on the break.
DATA POINT
The 85,011-attendance was the largest home attendance in English club history, beating the 84,467 that watched Manchester City's FA Cup sixth-round tie against Stoke City at Maine Road in 1934.
IN WITH THE IN CROWD
Tottenham did their best to make Wembley feel like home and the crowd produced an electric atmosphere in the national stadium. But a night that began in celebration ended in bitter disappointment.
