Pedro Porro's ordeal at Tottenham as Spain shines

Since Pedro Porro arrived at Tottenham on 31 January 2024, things have worsened significantly: in sixteen games he has recorded seven wins, two draws and seven defeats, a record that has cost the club fifth place in the table and missing out on Champions League qualification.

Season summary in the Premier League

Under manager Ange Postecoglou, the right‑back has experienced a first part of the season marked by highs and lows. The tally of seven wins, two draws and seven defeats has left Tottenham out of the race for the Champions League, a goal the board had set from the start.

The triumph in the Europa League

In the Europa League, however, the London club has written a different page, finally lifting a trophy after many years. Tottenham reached the competition’s best XI, showing that the team can still shine at continental level.

In the domestic league, the team finished in a modest seventeenth place, a position that never threatened relegation, but that remains well below the expectations of a London side.

The previous year, under De Zerbi’s guidance, Tottenham had fought for a narrow survival, showing that the situation is not new for the club. That season required a hard‑fought battle to maintain Premier League status.

Meanwhile, in Spain, which won the World Cup, Porro was one of the best on the pitch, contributing with goals and a constant presence on the right flank. His performance earned him a place in the tournament’s FIFA best XI, just days before his twenty‑seventh birthday.
