Spurs will be up against current champions Real Madrid, Germany’s Borussia Dortmund and APOEL FC of Cyprus, making up a highly competitive Group H.
The memes were rolling in on Twitter, which were shared amid the fans’ distress.

The draw, which was revealed in Monaco, saw Europa League champions Manchester United comfortably seated in Group A among Portugal’s Benfica, Switzerland’s Basel and CSKA Moscow.
Fans were pretty pleased, to say the least.
Manchester United are drawn with: Benfica, Basel and CSKA.
Exciting times! What a fantastic group. Finish 6th and get a flattering group!
