Tottenham head into Germany with confidence to take on Dortmund in second leg

This game could be a special event if Dortmund takes their chances this time. Whereas for Spurs, they can relax and hit them on the counter.

Every time a team has won by three goals or more, they have progressed through to the next round of the Champions League. This stat has never been challenged and might not be this time either.

Spurs actually own Dortmund’s venue and have made a habit of winning there. Lucien Favre men have lost 10 knockout fixtures of their last 13 Champions League knockout fixtures. Another stat counting in favour of the Spurs boss. This will also be only the second time Spurs qualify for the quarterfinals of the Champions League if they are to qualify.

Marco Reus attempts to rally his teammates and believe they can overcome the big deficit;

"I believe that we’re capable of achieving the impossible. There have already been some matches at this stadium that have made history. We’ll need to go to our limits if we are to get the goals in the right moments. Taken from BBC Sports."

Whereas the Spurs manager believes the first game holds no bearings on the second leg in the Round of 16. He is spot on and knows his team must perform at the same level as the first game, if not better.

"We all agree that first of all we need to perform on Tuesday. It is going to be tough, we need to forget the first leg, that must be our approach,” he said. I think we need to play like always, try to win. We cannot think about the first leg. It’s so important to start the game at a good level and be aggressive. That is key. Taken from BBC Sports."

With all this talk, let’s hope Dortmund puts on a show in front of the Yellow Wall and they put up a lasting fight. But certain, this is Tottenham’s game.
