Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham 'Rewarded by the Universe' in UCL Win v Man City

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino thinks there is a sense of destiny building around the team's progress in the UEFA Champions League this season.

Spurs progressed into the semi-finals of the competition on Tuesday in the most dramatic circumstances against Manchester City. Despite a 4-3 loss at the Etihad Stadium, they advanced 4-4 on away goals, with Raheem Sterling's last-gasp goal disallowed after a VAR review.

Having come through one of the all-time classic encounters to setup a semi-final with Ajax, Pochettino said he is beginning to consider whether fate is playing a role in the team's Champions League run, per Adam Crafton of the Daily Mail.
