Ronaldinho tipped former PSG teammate Mauricio Pochettino to lead Tottenham to Champions League glory.

“Why can’t Spurs win the Champions League? Because they don’t have the history in the competition, or because they have never won it before? Every team that has won the Champions League had to win it for the first time once. Their result against Manchester City, who are one of the best teams and have some of the best players in the competition, showed that they can compete with the best," said Ronaldinho.

Pochettino appreciated his former teammate's words.

“Wow – he knows a lot about football and I am going to respect him. He was a great teammate when we played together in PSG – we spent amazing time together on the pitch, training ground. In football, all can happen; like in life, you must believe and have trust in yourself and your ability and quality. It is good that people like Ronaldinho think you have the quality to win. That increases our belief," said the Tottenham manager.
