Tottenham Hotspur have exceeded all expectations this season, last year they qualified for the UEFA Champions League play-offs and there were a few people who thought “Champions League, you’re having a laugh.”
However Tottenham have been no joke this season; admittedly they had a rough start versus Young Boys but since then they have looked far from out of place. They beat Inter at White Hart Lane and finished ahead of them in their group.
Even Wenger thinks Spurs are in with a chance of beating Real Madrid, “It is very open” Wenger said, “Who cannot be beaten? If everything went all right, Barcelona would be out today ... if it had stayed 11 v 11, I am convinced of that. So why can't Spurs beat Madrid? Madrid has a disadvantage to play the first game at home and Spurs look to be strong at home. It is a real 50-50 tie.”
For Real the 1st leg is vital, Tottenham have turned the Lane into a European fortress so Real need to kill them off early. Fortunately for Spurs Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Marcelo could be unavailable for tomorrow’s match.
Bale could come back from injury to face Galácticos but question marks have been raised after the Welshman said “You never know [what will happen] but I have no fear about leaving the country,” he said “If there is a great opportunity then that has to be considered seriously. I left home when I was 15, if I leave the Premier League, learn another language and see another country then I will grow as a person.”
The question remains; will Tottenham shock us all, again?
