Pochettino: Spurs go to Real Madrid to win

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says they go to Champions League opponents Real Madrid to win.

Pochettino intends to stay true to Tottenham's ­attacking principles and will ­attempt to make a game of it with his young side in Madrid.

“We will try to ­dominate," he said.

“We will try to be better, but it's a massive challenge for us to dominate them. We will press high, try to play in the ­opposition's half, try to be ­aggressive and brave.

“That's how we feel football should be played. If they try to push us back deeper, then OK, we may have to adapt to their quality. But from the beginning we will be brave and aggressive and play to win the game."
