'Wow!' - Pochettino reacts as Ronaldinho says Spurs can lift the Champions League

The legendary Brazilian has backed the Lilywhites' quality and believes they can mount a real challenge for Europe's top trophy

A somewhat shocked Mauricio Pochettino said he would 'respect' Ronaldinho's recent claims that Tottenham can go all the way in the 2018-19 Champions League, with the London side having never lifted the most coveted trophy in club football.

Spurs started the season well, at first keeping pace with title-chasing duo Manchester City and Liverpool, but have since fallen away in the race after a string of sub-par results since the turn of the year.
