And Pochetinno conceded after the disastrous start to the encounter, he can have no complaints about the character Spurs displayed to break down the Juventus defence, who were yet to concede a goal in 2018.
"At 2-0 down my feeling was so bad," Pochettino said, as quoted via the Guardian. "We started sloppily, but we showed great character and I feel so proud. We are a young team in this competition. To show that kind of performance was fantastic.
"We dominated possession and forced them to play deeper and only use the counterattack. We were so focused. Only the opening minutes were difficult to handle. But after that we dominated Juventus and that is a thing to praise.
"Not many teams come here and dominate Juventus. We showed we are mature enough to compete in this competition."
