DORTMUND, GERMANY (REUTERS) – Tottenham Hotspur must forget their commanding 3-0 Champions League last 16 first-leg advantage over Borussia Dortmund and must play to beat the Germans again on Tuesday (March 5), coach Mauricio Pochettino has said.Â
Spurs took their chances to build a big lead at Wembley last month but both sides have since struggled for form, with the Londoners having lost twice and drawn in the Premier League, while Bundesliga leaders Dortmund have drawn, won and lost.Â
Despite their first-leg advantage, Pochettino warned against complacency and said he wanted his team to play for another win, although they have had one day less to prepare than the Germans.Â
“We all agree that first of all we need to perform tomorrow. It is going to be tough, we need to forget the first leg, that must be our approach,†he told a news conference on Monday.Â
“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.â€
Spurs must wait to see if Eric Dier, who has not played since early February due to tonsillitis, and fellow England midfielder Harry Winks, recovering from a hip injury, will be fit to play after the pair travelled with the squad.Â
“We need to assess both. They are here because we still need one day more to assess if they can (play),†Pochettino said. “Dier has been out for a while and may be on the bench. Winks we need to see tomorrow.â€
Pochettino also expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that Dortmund had an extra 24 hours to rest for the game after their 2-1 defeat at Augbsurg in the Bundesliga on Friday. Spurs, who are third in the Premier League, were in action on Saturday when they drew 1-1 at home to Arsenal.Â
“It’s strange for me that no-one has said anything about that. The first leg was the same. It’s impossible, how important is the game, that one team has 24 hours more to prepare. It’s massive,†he said.Â
“We need help from the (English) FA, we need help from the Premier League. I don’t know whose fault it is. I don’t know whether it is the FA, the Premier League, the club or the TV (who) wanted the matches to be on those days.â€Â

A revival of monumental proportions is the only hope we have to see the hearts and minds of multiplied millions turn to God. If it is the only hope—then with God, it is inevitable. A Third Great Awakening is upon us. God is allowing things to boil, bringing things to the surface so that He can deal with them.
