Tottenham Hotspur's first evening in Marseille was met with a familiar and repeated wake-up call throughout the night.
football.london understands that there were two prolonged periods of fireworks being let off right outside their hotel at around 1am and 4.30am on Monday night as Antonio Conte and his Spurs squad attempted to sleep ahead of their crunch Champions League match against the French side.
The times of the fireworks at such anti-social hours negated any potential of them simply being public displays, while those inside the club suggested there must have been plenty of money spent on them because of the length of each interruption to the evening's rest.
