It was the biggest home defeat by an English team in any European competition. It was the first time in Spurs' 137-year history that they have conceded seven goals in a home game. It was the first time since a 7-1 Premier League defeat by Newcastle on 28 December 1996 that they have let in seven goals. They are the first English side to concede seven goals in a home European match (they were also the first to concede six). They are the first English side to concede seven goals in a European game since the last time they did it - when a makeshift Spurs lost 8-0 to Cologne in the 1995 Intertoto Cup. The most goals Spurs had conceded in a European home game was last season in a 4-2 defeat by Barcelona. This was Mauricio Pochettino's joint heaviest defeat as a manager, alongside a 5-0 loss to Real Madrid in March 2012 when in charge of Espanyol.
