English clubs, almost certainly Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa, have missed out on a fifth Champions League place next season following Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League win against Paris St-Germain.
Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said Wednesday that winger Jadon Sancho's excellent performance in his side's 1-0 Champions League semi-final first leg victory over Paris Saint-Germain was brought out by the "big stage".But the player knows it is only half-time in the tie as Dortmund seek to reach June's Champions League final at Wembley.
Tottenham Hotspur are working on two summer transfer plans – one for if they finish fourth and another for if they miss out on Champions League qualification – but neither will prioritise set-piece specialists.
