Tottenham boss Pochettino: Still much work needed to reach Barcelona level

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has warned the club still has a lot of work to do to reach the level of Barcelona.

Spurs are at City tonight for their Champions League quarterfinal second-leg defending a 1-0 lead.

Pochettino believes there are still big steps to be made, but said: “With our new stadium, we need to be contenders to fight for the Champions League and the Premier League because we need the tools to be there.

"It is going to be tough to find a way to be on the same level [as Real Madrid and Barcelona].

“For us there is a lot of work to be on the level we want in the future."
