We’re here. Tottenham Hotspur are at the Westfalonstadion in Germany to take on Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League knock-out series. Spurs have a well-deserved 3-0 lead over the Bundesliga co-leaders after the first leg at Wembley thanks to strikes from Son Heung-Min, Jan Vertonghen, and Fernando Llorente.
That’s a pretty solid lead, but this is Tottenham. If you’re a Spurs fan and you’re not stroking a lucky rabbit’s foot and knocking on every wooden surface you can find with one hand flinging salt over your shoulder and the other making gestures to ward off evil, you’re doing it wrong. You also have too many hands.
Tottenham have Harry Kane and Eric Dier back in the fold for this one, but Dortmund have Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer, both of whom missed the match at Wembley. Spurs might have put in a dominant performance in the first leg, but this is still a really good Dortmund team.
The good news: if Spurs can manage a single goal in this match it means that Dortmund needs five to advance outright thanks to the away goals rule. Better yet, Spurs can just do what they did last season at the Signal Iduna: win. That sounds good, let’s do that.
THE CHAAAAAAAAAAAAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS!
COYS!
