Sky Sports Champions League •

Tottenham Hotspur narrowly avoided their first relegation in 49 years after a catastrophic campaign featuring a six-game losing streak and 15-match winless run. The world's ninth-richest football club endured their worst season in decades, with supporters witnessing unprecedented levels of failure from a team expected to challenge European spots.

New manager Thomas Frank replaced sacked Ange Postecoglou and immediately faced crisis as James Maddison suffered a season-ending ACL injury. The club's transfer window compounded problems with missed targets Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, while 27 players were sidelined throughout the campaign, the most in the league.

Daniel Levy's shock exit as chairman added to the chaos, while Frank's controversial tenure peaked when he was photographed drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup. Players publicly criticized the club's hierarchy amid mounting pressure, with captain Cristian Romero accusing management of spreading "lies." Frank was eventually sacked after a humiliating home loss to West Ham.
