Borussia Dortmund advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League on Thursday, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at White Hart Lane and 5-1 on aggregate.
Mauricio Pochettino's team selection was a clear indicator that Spurs didn't believe in a miracle after losing 3-0 in Germany, as the hosts played without key figures such as Mousa Dembele and Christian Eriksen—who weren't even in the squad—or Harry Kane.
Dortmund, meanwhile, didn't field their strongest XI either. Thomas Tuchel's side again played with five at the back in the first half, as they presumably expected Spurs to come out firing.
