Fans think Yaya Toure gave Tottenham Hotspur a good Champions League draw

Yaya Toure was being attributed with giving Tottenham Hotspur a good draw in the Champions League, whilst reminding everyone of the curse on Manchester City.

Thursday afternoon was one of the highlights of the sporting year, with everyone glued to their televisions whilst shouting "oh will you just get on with it," as two random former footballers pulled out the balls to decide the Champions League groups.

With the final being at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul this season, it made sense for Hamit Altintop to be one of those former footballers, seeing as he played 82 times for the Turkish national team.

There was slightly less reason for Toure to be in position, but then he is a former winner of the competition, with Barcelona, so why not.

Whilst he did win it under Pep Guardiola, the Ivorian was announced as being a Spurs coach, his current job, and his colleagues certainly would have been happy with his work.

Toure and Altintop helped Antonio Conte's side draw Eintracht Frankfurt, Sporting and Marseille, a group that makes them favourites to go through and gives their fans some fun away trips to look forward to.

With his links to the club, many were praising Toure for his help in picking what looks like the ideal group, taking to social media to heap praise on the 39-year-old.

Whilst fans of his current team were very happy to see him at the draw, others felt that his presence was not good news for Manchester City.

The Premier League champions are once again on the hunt to finally be crowned European champions, with it being the last major trophy they really need to win since their takeover.

Some believe that Toure has cast a curse on Guardiola and they won't win it under the former Bayern Munich manager, which his agent once claimed.

Fans on social media took Toure's presence as a reminder of the curse, especially once he was asked what it would take for his former club to win it.
