Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that he wants Tottenham Hotspur to draw one of the big guns in the Champions League.

Alan Brazil has told the Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 11th December, that he cannot believe Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino’s comments about the Champions League draw.

Pochettino has suggested that he wants a big tie in the Champions League knockout stages, despite his Spurs side winning their group.

But Brazil does not feel that Pochettino should have publicly admitted his desire to draw a big team.

He said: “I’m surprised by what he’s said again. If I’m Juventus or Bayern Munich manager I’m thinking ‘really’? There’s no point saying it.”

Tottenham will find out their next Champions League opponent later today, when the draw takes place.

Spurs could be handed a tie against the likes of Sevilla or Basel, which would make them favourites to progress to the next round.

Tottenham are still unbeaten in the Champions League this term, and have already beaten Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, which proves they can compete with the very best.

Tottenham are next in action on Wednesday evening, when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley.
