Tottenham Hotspur held Bayern Leverkusen 0-0 in Tuesday night's Champions League encounter in Germany on the back of some ridiculous heroics from Hugo Lloris in net.
The first half saw Hotspur attempt to take the game to Leverkusen, but the German club defended resolutely. Vincent Janssen hit the post for the visitors and Christian Eriksen's follow-up attempt brought a great save out of Bernd Leno.
With Spanish giants Valencia currently sitting in the relegation zone of the La Liga table, multi-billionaire chairman Peter Lim is reportedly set on bringing Mexican international Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez to the third largest city in Spain by triggering his £40.7 million release clause.
Valencia’s horrid start to the season resulted in the early firing of Pako Ayestaran, but Los Che have acted quickly to replace him with former Fiorentina and Italy manager Cesare Prandelli.
Last weekend, in the Bundesliga, Chicharito had a hat trick against Mainz. Mid-week, in the Champions League, he scored against Monaco in a loss.
Saturday, against Borussia Dortmund, he scored again.

Chicharito scored a hat-trick this weekend in the Bundesliga, so we were on the edge of our seats with regards to what he might do in the Champions League.
He delivered with a goal.

Chichagol. Chichagol. Again, Chichagol.
A remarkable hat-trick from the man, the myth, the legend Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez lifted Bayer Leverkusen to a 3-2 victory over Mainz on Saturday.
Mexico internationals and Chivas youth products Marco Fabian and Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez squared off in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the attacking midfielder and striker playing vital roles in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
Alexander Meier opened the scoring for the home side, Frankfurt, in the 53rd minute. His goal was provided by Fabian, the Frankfurt No. 10 supplying the cross for the opener.
A few weeks ago, Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez broke his hand falling down the stairs at his house. This is, admittedly, not the least-embarrassing way to hurt yourself. Hernandez was back in action Saturday for Bayer Leverkusen against Hamburg.
Finnish striker Joel Pohjanpalo stole the show with a hat trick for Leverkusen, but Chicharito played well in his return, going the full 90 and assisting Pohjanpalo's third goal.
(Chicharito's assist starts at 1:55)
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has taken to Twitter to reveal that the surgery he required after falling down the stairs of his home has been completed.
Chicharito is now recovering after the “perfect” surgery, confirming that the original timeline of a return in two week’s time is still the expected outcome.
