Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Mauricio Pochettino’s side are capable of winning the Champions League this season.
Spurs impressed in the group stages of the tournament in the latter stages of 2017 – finishing above reigning champions Real Madrid to book their spot in the round of 16.
The capital club fell 2-0 behind to Juventus in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday night, but fought back to pick up a 2-2 draw at the home of the Italian champions.
Tottenham are seen as rank outsiders to win the Champions League this season, but Redknapp has insisted that his former club have the credentials to lift the crown.
Indeed, the pundit has claimed that the fact Spurs have ‘special players’ will make them a threat to any other team in the competition.
Redknapp told Sky Sports:
“Can they win the Champions League? Absolutely they can. Liverpool and Tottenham are dangerous teams because they have the special players in there.
“At the start of the season everyone was talking about Spurs’ squad depth, but they have a really strong squad.”
Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are seen as the three favourites to win the competition this season, closely followed by Barcelona and Real Madrid.
