英國每日郵報以“波切蒂諾第一與瓜迪奧拉相遇就擊敗瓜帥，熱刺球迷期待復制這一勝利”為題，對周末——10月2日即將進行的熱刺對陣曼城的比賽，進行了前瞻。

文章說瓜帥與波切蒂諾帶領的球隊西班牙人第一次交手，就輸給了后者。并以球迷的期待，說熱刺希望擊敗曼城，終結曼城的英超良好開局。

He wasn’t quite kryptonite to Guardiola’s Superman but it’s certainly true that Pochettino was the first coach to really get the measure of Pep in Spain, and he did it despite having significantly poorer resources and when it was least expected.波切蒂諾不見得就是瓜迪奧拉的克星；但的確是衡量瓜帥在西班牙執教水平的第一人，。即便波切蒂諾在更差的條件下和不被看好的情況下。

But against all the odds Espanyol ran out 2-1 winners and showed La Liga there was a way to stop the Guardiola juggernaut.然而西班牙人卻爆冷2:1成為贏家并且向西甲表明，還是有方法可以擊敗瓜迪奧拉這樣的巨無霸。

文章這樣講述了雙方對陣的技戰術情況：

Up to that point teams had attempted to defend as deep as possible against them camping two banks of four on the edge of their own penalty area hoping to squeeze the space between the lines where Lionel Messi was so effective, and closing all possible corridors of opportunity for a Xavi pass or an Iniesta through-ball.

But Pochettino tore up that blueprint. Instead he sent his team out to press high not giving Rafa Marquez, Gerard Pique or holding midfielder that night Yaya Toure time on the ball to bring it out with composure.

The plan was helped by by Barcelona being reduced to 10 men when Seydou Keita was sent off after 38 minutes but the achievement was still huge.

The plan had also been to leave two or sometimes three players high up the pitch even when Barcelona were attacking.

It was risky but it helped Espanyol launch quick counter attacks when ever they managed to win the ball.

It was a very demanding game. Now we have to pick ourselves up as best we can,’ said Guardiola after the match.

‘Espanyol showed the world how to beat Barca,’ read the match report in El Periodico, although it wasn’t all praise for Pochettino’s tactics with complaints from the Barca-supporting press that Espanyol had been more interested in wasting time and breaking the play up, than playing football themselves.

對此，網友回應從中立和支持一方，表達了自己的觀點。有德國曼城球迷揚言：周末要是熱刺能贏，我就吃帽子！

Poch and Pep. Clearly the two best managers in the Prem by a good distance。瓜帥和波帥，兩位有差距但也是英超最好的主帥。

Did the double on City last season. However I fear that our current injury problems will tip the balance their way... Spurs need the game of their lives to win this one. A draw would be a massive result for us.擔心受傷會改變過程打破平衡。。。
