Mauricio Pochettino hopeful new ground will be ready to host CL last-eight tie

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino thinks they will be able to play the home leg of the Champions League quarter final at their new stadium.

Spurs are through to the last eight after a 1-0 win at Borussia Dortmund sealed a 4-0 aggregate victory over the German side.

However, they have been playing their home games in the tournament at Wembley, because their new ground has yet to be completed.

But Pochettino thinks the stadium will be complete in time to host a Champions League quarter-final on April 9/10 or 16/17.

"I expect to play in the new stadium," said the Tottenham boss.

"We were talking with (chairman) Daniel Levy on Monday and yes, my wish is to play in the new stadium.

"Before the game, we were sitting listening to the song of the Champions League and we were thinking it would be amazing to be standing in the new stadium, listening to the song.
