Tottenham will learn their next Europa League opponents when the last-16 draw takes place today.
A fine start and end to the new league phase did the business for Spurs, but a defeat to Galatasaray followed by draws with Roma and Rangers almost derailed their campaign.

But Spurs did overcome that wobble to finish in the top eight and progress straight through to the last 16 and avoid two extra games in a knockout round play-off tie.
The teams who finished ninth to 24th were thrown into a play-off stage to confirm the eight unseeded teams in the last-16 stage.
Who will Tottenham face in Europa League last 16?
As a result of finishing fourth in the league phase, Tottenham could have faced the winners of the knockout phase play-off ties between the 13th and 14th seeds, or the 19th and 20th seeds. Which are: Galatasaray, AZ Alkmaar, Real Sociedad or Midtlylland.
As mentioned, Spurs have already faced - and lost to - Galatasaray this season, and also sneaked past AZ.
However, there will be no repeat of their defeat to the Turkish, after AZ eased to a 6-3 aggregate with over Galatasaray.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, proved far too strong for Midtlylland as they won 7-3 on aggregate over the two legs.
Tottenham will see their opponents confirmed - either Real Sociedad or AZ Alkmaar - during the last-16 draw on Friday, February 21.
The first leg of those ties will be played on either March 6, with the return fixtures a week later.
