adminLONDON. – In dire need of a famous victor to revive his team’s Champions League soccer campaign, Mauricio Pochettino will draw on the memory of the most cherished success of his career when Tottenham host Barcelona tonight. Pochettino’s side can ill afford a damaging defeat against the Spanish champions after conceding two late goals to lose their opening Group B match 2-1 at Inter Milan.
A loss against Lionel Messi and company at Wembley would leave Tottenham facing a tough task qualifying for the knockout stages in their remaining four games. It is a perilous situation that leads Tottenham boss Pochettino to recall the day his Espanyol team upset the odds in the Barcelona derby to start his journey to managerial stardom.
