It is perhaps worth recalling the situation in which Tottenham found themselves after the third match of this Champions League group phase. With only one point on the board, even Mauricio Pochettino had practically written them off. “It’s nearly over,” the manager said. “It will be very difficult.”
Look at Spurs now. Their ride into the last 16 came complete with white knuckles but what underpinned their progress to the quarter-final here – on a memorable night at the home of the Bundesliga leaders – was calmness and conviction.
