An ice cold wind blew through White Hart Lane as Borussia Dortmund made themselves familiar with the ground the night before the second leg against Tottenham Hotspur in the round of 16. Things are due to heat up tomorrow, though. 'Spurs' will want to overturn the 0-3 defeat they suffered in Dortmund.

"We know that we will have to work hard again. And we know all about the quality that Tottenham have. Teams often play very differently at home than they do away", said BVB captain Mats Hummels during the press conference on Wednesday evening: "We know that we are clear favourites to make it through to the next round. We want to show that in the game, and preferably with a goal to quell any remaining doubt."

"We are going up against a very dangerous team that is strong offensively, so we need to put in a top performance", was Thomas Tuchel's assessment of how things currently stand. Apart from Bender and Ilkay Gündogan, the entire squad will be present. Erik Durm finished the final training session early. "We will field the strongest team possible tomorrow", announced the manager. (br)
