Speaking in Barcelona, where Tottenham spent time training last week, Pochettino said: “If there is one favourite team to win Champions League it is Barcelona. [manager Ernesto] Valverde is doing a great job. They have players of extraordinary level, and then they have Lionel Messi.“You have teams such as Manchester City or Juventus that will always have chances to win the competition because they are teams who are designed to do that.

“I think the Manchester United team that has been built during the past few years was built to win big things. But winning important competitions such as the Champions League or Premier League always depends on the small details.“Of course they have players able to make things difficult for Barcelona [in the Champions League]. But I think Barcelona are one step higher than Manchester United.”Barcelona are hitting their stride just at the right time as they look to complete a treble.Valverdes side are 10 points clear in La Liga and through to the final of the Copa Del Rey after seeing off Real Madrid in the semi-final.They are also on a six game winning streak and are unbeaten in the league since November.Barca thrashed Real Betis 4-1 on Sunday with Messi scoring his 51st career hat-trick. “[Messi] has been praised and will continue to be. He is the best player in the world. An extraordinary and unique player,” Pochettino said.“But what is more surprising is his regularity in performing extraordinary things. That is the most surprising thing.“You can be a player able to do extraordinary things during certain games but to show it during every game you play proves an enormous merit.”
