Mauricio Pochettino revelled in Tottenham defying what he said many had dubbed mission impossible on Tuesday as they drew away to Barcelona and qualified for the Champions League's Last 16.

Spurs needed to match Inter Milan's result at home to PSV Eindhoven, which they did, thanks to Lucas Moura's 85th-minute equaliser snatching a 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou. Inter were held to the same scoreline by PSV, sending Pochettino's side through in second place in Group B, despite them taking just a single point from their opening three games.
