Mauricio Pochettino is hoping Tottenham Hotspur still have the chance to make it to the next stage.

A late spark from the North London giants saw them getting the better of PSV Eindhoven what was expected to be a crucial clash. Spurs’ hopes of qualifying to the next stage now are entirely in their hands and they simply have to take their chances in the next two games.

A very early goal from Luuk de Jong looked to have shattered their hopes but relentless pressure from the home side got the Dutch side on the back foot and they were eventually rewarded when Harry Kane reduced the deficit in the 78th minutes.

The English international then netted his second of the evening in the dying minutes to keep their hopes alive.

Pochettino said, “There are two games to play. If we can beat Inter in Milan, we’ll be equal on seven points with a game to play. Everything can happen in one game.

“We’ll see if Barcelona have qualified for the next stage and we are going to go there to try to win the game. I think the belief is still there and you know me, I’m so optimistic.

“Now, it’s to be focused on Saturday but in the Champions League, it’s focusing on Inter. We were so close to winning the game and deserved more in Milan. We played better than them and we were unlucky in the situation we conceded in but I think we can beat them.

“I’m so optimistic. We are capable of beating them and I am sure the percentage to be in the next stage will be higher.”
