For the first time in a long while, all English representatives have booked their place in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham’s qualification was shaky but their 2-1 away win at Marseille ensured their qualification to the knock out stage.
They eventually finished first in group D with 11 points and now joined Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea to progress to the next round.
In five of the six previous seasons that all of the English clubs involved have reached the knockout stage, at least one has made it to the final.
The only time that did not happen was in 2013-14, when Chelsea were beaten by Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.
Going on to win the competition has proved a little more tricky. The only triumphs were in 2004-05 (Liverpool) and 2007-08 (Manchester United).
Still, an English side reaching the final this season would mark significant progress after five barren years.
Since 2003-04, seven different English clubs have appeared in the Champions League group stages – Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
In those 14 seasons, the teams reaching the group stages have qualified for the knockout stage 84% of the time.
The highlight was 2007-08, with Arsenal reaching the quarter-finals, Liverpool making it to the semi-finals, and Manchester United beating Chelsea in the final.
The low point was 2012-13, when only Manchester United and Arsenal made the last 16, and both exited at that stage.
