Dreams On the Green: Simons Sends Spurs to a 3-0 Champions League Win
9 December 2025
Match Summary
Tottenham star Xavi Simons celebrated a 3-0 UEFA Champions League win over Slavia Prague, saying he is living his true dream on the green pitch tonight.
Simons, who joined Spurs from RB Leipzig last summer, sealed the London club's third with a late penalty after a smart move.
He said the team must keep working the same way and is very happy with these results.
Playing in the Champions League is a great pleasure for him; he is living his dream now and is happy to be here.
He described Slavia Prague's approach and the difficulties early on, noting they rely on man-to-man marking all over the pitch, so Spurs had to find space and create chances. In the first half Tottenham had several chances but could not score; in the second half they scored twice, much to the delight of the home crowd.
During the stoppage, he joked about a teammate's advice before the penalty: he wanted to take the first penalty, but his teammate spoke to him and he was determined to take the second; Christian Romero gave him the opportunity to finish it.
To close, Simons discussed the team's drive for consistency: two wins from two games, but the upcoming match against Nottingham Forest will be very tough; they hope to keep this positive run going.
Impact and Reactions
Punchline 1: If scoring were a map, Spurs just dropped a pin on the back of the net.
Punchline 2: And if patience were a player, the crowd would still be waiting for the VAR to decide dessert.
