In the process of receiving Heung-Min Son’s penetration pass from Kane, Mbemba was given a red card for trying to stop it. Tottenham, who had a numerical advantage, began to spread their shoulders.

In the end, the first goal was scored. In the 31st minute of the second half, Richalisson finished the cross from Perisic with a header. Another goal came following 5 minutes. This time Hoybjerg crossed, and once once more Rischalisson finished with a head. In the end, Tottenham beat Marseille 2-0 to mark their first match as a victory.

Richalisson, who scored multiple goals in this match, shed tears. He desperately wanted the UCL stage. In particular, immediately following leaving Everton and moving to Tottenham, he expressed his anticipation, saying, “I have always told my friends that just hearing the UCL theme song gives me goosebumps.
