Mauricio Pochettino is braced for a touchline ban for his confrontation with referee Mike Dean.
Pochettino revealed that he feared the worst after Tottenham completed a 4-0 aggregate win over Borussia Dortmund to reach the last eight of the Champions League.
‘I am not going to talk because it easy to pay,’ said the Spurs boss on Tuesday.

‘You are going to see tomorrow why I am not going to talk. I am very disappointed, I don’t think that is going to change but I don’t care, we are going to be strong.
‘If we are not going to receive help from our football people in our country I can only laugh. You are going to see tomorrow why I am not so happy with the people.’
Pochettino stormed onto the pitch after full-time following Spurs’ 2-1 defeat by Burnley to confront Dean — who himself was removed from officiating duties following the incident.
The manager was charged by the Football Association over his behaviour and he confirmed he accepted the charges and did not request a personal hearing.
Pochettino hit out at the Premier League fixture schedulers on the eve of the game in Germany and claimed his team were at a ‘massive disadvantage’ because Dortmund had 24 hours more to prepare for each leg.
