Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino praises Juventus striker Paulo Dybala as 'a special talent' and 'one of the best in the world' ahead of Champions League showdown

Mauricio Pochettino has classed his Argentine compatriot Paulo Dybala among the world's best as his Tottenham side prepare for their Champions League showdown with Juventus.

In-form Spurs, buoyed by their 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the North London derby on Saturday, head to Turin to take on the Italian champions on Tuesday night in the first leg of their last-16 match.

It's a fiendishly difficult draw for Spurs against a Juve side that has reached two Champions League finals in the last three seasons and are bidding for a seventh consecutive Serie A crown.
