Bale looking for goals in Tottenham's second leg

Gareth Bale says Tottenham will go on the attack in next Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg.

Spurs were put on the back foot by Real Madrid in the two-legged tie as the Spanish giants scored a 4-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu and the 21-year old winger admits the only way to even think about progressing to the semi-finals is to try and score goals.

"We have to play at our best, stop their best players and score goals at White Hart Lane. It's going to be a difficult task, everyone knows that but I still think it's possible," Bale said.

"We are not going to sit back and take another beating from them in the second leg. Hopefully we will win and hopefully that win will be enough.

"Anything can happen. We will be ready for them."

And Bale said it is also important for the London club to bounce back as they still have the Premier League season to worry about.

"We have to pick ourselves up for the rest of the season," the Welshman added. "We can still finish fourth or higher maybe. We have to keep going. We still have the second leg and the league.

"We are a young team that is learning and I think we can definitely learn from this."
