'Marca' has apologised to Tottenham for the article, which was published on Monday ahead of Spurs' Champions League clash with Real Madrid, as they described the North London club as "hated, but with good footballing style".
Tottenham have often been targeted with anti-Semitic chants, and some Spurs fans refer to themselves as 'yids', which is a term the FA would like to see removed from the game.
After learning of the story in the Spanish newspaper, a Tottenham spokesperson said: "We are astonished that a publication such as Marca, which presents itself as an alleged source of professional journalism, has seen fit to publish such an article which is blatantly wrong and wholly distasteful."

'Marca' then responded, claiming that the word "hated" had been lost in translation, but they apologised for the offence caused.
"It has generated controversy in England because of a mis-translation of the term 'hated', which also featured in the copy," said a statement released by the newspaper.
"The 'hatred' that Tottenham suffers is very focused on the radical and racist groups that are hiding in society, especially among the fans of Chelsea and West Ham. Obviously, these groups do not represent the English game or society.
"We regret the confusion that has been created in this respect. The intention was not to damage the image of Tottenham - a club we respect, value and admire.
"We do not want to serve as a mouthpiece for these racist minorities, which remain within football and which use any pretext to spread their messages of hate, which we reject head-on."
Chelsea released a statement saying they wanted to make their stance on "racism" clear after the article.
"We know that the vast majority of our fans share the club's view that racism is both abhorrent and deplorable and will not be tolerated," a Chelsea spokesperson said.
"It is a great shame a media publication such as Marca should choose to make such wide-ranging, inaccurate and appalling accusations."
A spokesman from West Ham added: "We are shocked and disappointed by the comments made by Marca in relation to Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Chelsea.
"There is no place in sport for discrimination of any kind. West Ham United is an inclusive environment where everyone that visits London Stadium feels welcome, regardless of gender, age, race, religion or sexual orientation.
"Marca's accusations are unfounded, offensive and wildly inaccurate."
