A positive result will likely be required in the most testing of surroundings, with Alli aware of the size of the challenge facing Spurs \u2013 particularly from a five-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner.<\/p>\n

The England international said: \u201cHe [Messi] is a player that everyone idolised because of what he’s achieved in his career.<\/p>\n
