Tottenham will feel more pressure than Juventus ahead of second-leg, says manager Massimiliano Allegri

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri believes the pressure will be on Tottenham to reach the last eight of the Champions League.

The Italian champions stormed into a 2-0 lead during Wednesday night's last-16 tie at the Allianz Stadium, courtesy of a Gonzalo Higuain double — first through a volley and then from the spot.

But Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side fought back, with Harry Kane rounding Gialuigi Buffon and scoring before Christian Eriksen fired in a free-kick under the Juventus wall.
