I for one never saw Mauricio and his men making the knockout. They were by far the worst of the lot during the Group stages.

The English team with the most goals handed to the opposition. Spurs handed their foes 10 goals across the six fixtures. Eight points collected was a little, but just enough. Amazed by how the worst English team behind the ball managed to squeeze through on goal difference.

A tough run consisted of them losing the first of the group ties when they travelled to the San Siro and took on Inter Milan. Gladly for Pochettino, he went on to knock them out with a strong end to a shaky start.

They go up against a solid Dortmund side tomorrow evening. Good luck to them cause they going to need it against the Bundesliga leaders.
