Mauricio Pochettino unhappy Borussia Dortmund have had longer to prepare for Champions League game than Tottenham
Tottenham are in Germany to try and seal a place in the Champions League quarter-final, with what Mauricio Pochettino believes is an unfair advantage.Spurs face Borussia Dortmund and lead 3-0 from the first leg, but the manager is unhappy his opponents have had more time to prepare for both games.2

Mauricio Pochettino believes his Spurs side have an unfair advantage compared to Borussia Dortmund ahead of their last 16 Champions League clash

They played 24 hours before them for the first leg and then played on Friday night compared to Spurs’ lunchtime kick-off ahead of the second leg in Germany.Pochettino has called on the authorities in England to help their clubs in the Champions League by giving them better domestic fixtures ahead of big matches.“I think we need help from the FA, we need help from the Premier League, I don’t know because I am not involved in the decisions,” he said. “I don’t know whether to blame the FA or to blame the Premier League or to blame Tottenham because we changed the day because we still not deliver our new stadium or the TV because they wanted us to play live on Saturday.“Look what happened with Rennes in the Europa League. They cancelled their game at the weekend to help or provide Rennes to play against Arsenal [in the Europa League].“In Europe, the FAs are more sensitive to help the club to compete in the best way in Europe.“I would like to play in the same situation as your opponent. That is the most important, you have the same day to prepare for the game.2

Borussia Dortmund played on Friday night, while Spurs played on Saturday afternoon, though the German side lost 2-1 to Augsburg

“I think that is not fair and it is a problem that in the future it is a thing we need to change if we want to help the English clubs be stronger in the competition.“We need to be more sensitive to the clubs who play in Europe to provide better condition to have the same possibility to arrive to the games.”Pochettino will not allow that Red Letter Day at Wembley three weeks ago, where his side blew Dortmund away in the second half, to come into his thinking ahead of the return leg.
