Mauricio Pochettino has suggested he will quit Tottenham and go out on a high if they can go on and win the Champions League. Tottenham have a rescue mission to perform in Amsterdam tonight as they are trailing Ajax 1-0 from the Champions League semi-final first leg last week, but as Liverpool proved against Barcelona, anything is possible in football.
