da dobrowin: After going down to a 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the first leg of their last 16 clash, Tottenham have it all to do when they return to Champions League action on Tuesday night.
da marjack bet: Jose Mourinho’s side were unable to stop the German outfit from registering that all-important away goal, and know that they will have to score at least once to stand any chance of progressing into the quarter-finals stage.
But whilst Timo Werner was the man who scored from the spot to give Leipzig the win in north London a couple of weeks ago, the forward isn’t the only man who Mourinho should be looking to stop.

Instead, Angelino, who is on loan at Leipzig from Spurs’ Premier League rivals, Manchester City, is the player who the Lilywhites need to keep a particularly close eye on. Especially after his impressive display in the first leg.
As per Sofascore, his 7.5 match rating was the highest of any outfield player for Leipzig, including that of Werner (6.7). And when you look at the underlying numbers behind his performance, it is easy to see why.
Despite playing at left wing-back, the Spaniard caused all sorts of problems with his marauding runs down the flank, and Serge Aurier and Gedson Fernandes just could not cope as a duo. The £14.4m-rated ace completed all four of his attempted dribbles on the night, and had two efforts on goal, with one strike in particular coming off the woodwork.
He created one big chance and provided a key pass too, whilst his total of 70 touches of the ball was significantly higher than the likes of Werner (51) and Christopher Nkunku (53).
Angelino ran Spurs ragged with his runs on and off the ball, but with him not being the star of the team, or even playing in a more obvious attacking position, Mourinho may be in danger of simply ignoring what the wing-back can bring to the table.
Meanwhile, this Spurs ace who lost possession 26 times had a nightmare display against Burnley.
