On Wednesday, football fans will witness another bunch of top-level matches - the UEFA Champions League kick off with Group E-H matches. Undoubtedly, one of the most interesting matches of the day will take place in the center of London, where "Tottenham" will host Dortmund's "Borussia". Here are some interesting facts about the match: "Tottenham" and "Borussia" will face each other for the first time in the history of the UEFA Champions League. The only encounter between these two teams took place in the 2015-16 Europa League quarter-finals, when "Borussia" defeated Mauricio Pochettino's team 5-1. For the Tottenham team, this will only be their third group stage since 2010. In the 2010-11 season, "Spurs" performed successfully - only losing in the quarter-finals to "Real", and last season their journey was cut short after the group stage. Mauricio Pochettino's squad has won only two out of their last nine Champions League matches - two draws and four losses. Despite Harry Kane having played only three matches in the Champions League, he has scored two goals. "Borussia" will compete in the Champions League for the 12th time in the club's history - only Bayern Munich (21) has appeared more from German teams in this tournament. Dortmund's team has made it through the group stage in the Champions League for the last four seasons, including 2012-13, when BVB managed to reach the final and only after a fierce battle lost to the Bavarians. "Borussia" is one of only three German teams to have lifted the Champions League trophy. The other two are Bayern and Hamburger. Marco Reus has scored 12 goals and provided four assists in his last 16 Champions League matches. For Mauricio Pochettino's colleague Peter Bosz, this will be the first time he leads his team in the Champions League tournament.
