Harry Kane revealed his delight over Tottenham's Champions League 2018-19 group stage draw after Spurs were handed a tough test against Spanish giants Barcelona.

Spurs were deeded in pot 2 for Thursday's draw in Monaco, and were immediately put up against it by being drawn against La Liga champions Barca in Group B.

Mauricio Pochettino's men will also face Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven, while pot 4 also threw up a difficult tie against a new-look Inter Milan side.

Despite the prospect of facing the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, Spurs star Kane - who saw his side take four points off of eventual Champions League winners Real Madrid last season - is eager to test himself against the best that Europe has to offer.

"You want to play in big games against the best players," Kane told Spurs' official website.

"It's a brilliant draw, one to relish."

Spurs will play Barcelona for the first time since 1982. Pochettino's playing career at Espanyol saw the Argentine dismiss a link with Barca last year, saying he would rather work on a farm.
