Tottenham boss Pochettino now believes in Europa League

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says they're taking the Europa League seriously.

On the eve of Tottenham's Europa League play-off against AEL Limassol, Pochettino says he is now warming to the competition.

"The Europa League is now a different competition," Pochettino said. "Why? Well, if you won it last year you basically got nothing. Just a trophy.

"Now the Europa League gives you the opportunity to play in the Champions League. That is a big challenge for us."
