Pochettino has admitted he has made mistakes in regards to team selection this season. But it doesn't sound like he has any regrets about his team from the first leg.

"I believe in my squad and for one negative result now it has not changed my vision of them," he insisted.

"Sometimes it is difficult and I accept in a very good way the criticism because always in football if you win you are a genius, if not, you are a disaster.

"For me it is important to keep all players motivated. All players are important. It is not only to say it, it is important to show I believe in them.

"Sometimes we rotate, sometimes maybe I made a mistake. We analyse our decisions a lot. We can always do better and for that we are open to learn."

Marco Reus, who on song in the first leg, is adamant Dortmund would have come out on top even if Spurs had played their strongest team at Signal Iduna Park."I do believe that they took the game seriously. But we are currently in such good form that we would still have beaten their best team," said the Germany international.

"However, their team has other priorities. I think Tottenham are giving priority to winning the Premier League and you can’t blame them."

Mkhitaryan with a seldom error. Dortmund should have made more of that attack. Two players in wide open space.#TOTBVB

Solid Twitter handle from Mr. Buczko, by the way.

17 mins: Dier is penalised wide on the right and Dortmund have a chance to swing the ball into the box. Dier isn't happy one bit. It certainly looked like he won the ball at first viewing.The set piece comes to nothing and Spurs clear the ball to safety.

This game is lacking a bit of bite and is definitely suiting Dortmund rather than Spurs. The hosts need to take it up a notch.
