The head coach of London's "Tottenham" is eagerly awaiting the start of the UEFA Champions League, but he fully understands that they face a tough challenge.
The "Spurs" team has been handed a tough group stage - in Group H, the English team will compete with Madrid's "Real" and Dortmund's "Borussia" for a spot in the quarterfinals. Outsider Nikosia's APOEL is also in this group.
Today, "Tottenham" faces their first test - Dortmund's "Borussia" club will be welcomed at Wembley Stadium, with significant experience in this tournament.
"In theory, 'Real' should be the first in this group, and the remaining teams will fight for the second position. However, football is not just theory, and we don't know how everything will unfold," said M. Pochettino.
"Our ambition is to win every match. Of course, 'Real' is on a different level - they have won two tournament titles in a row, which is something exceptional.
I think this group is particularly challenging. We need new experiences and we must pose a challenge to the 'Real' team. This season will show if we are ready to compete with teams of this caliber," concluded the strategist.
