OPINION
Tottenham fans already on cloud nine after their team qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals had further reason to uncork the champagne after Mauricio Pochettino revealed in the aftermath of the Tuesday night triumph at Borussia Dortmund he expects the next round to be played at the new stadium, as quoted by Evening Standard correspondent Jack Rosser.

This is the news that Spurs supporters have been waiting so long for, after the opening of the new White Hart Lane was delayed by six months due to a series of setbacks. Their patience has been tested by wiring, safety and fire alarm issues, meaning the entire campaign to date has been played ‘away’ from home at Wembley. News that that the 62,000-capacity magnificent stadium will host the home leg of the Champions League last-eight clash has gone down brilliantly with the faithful on social media.
