Bale: Spurs players convinced we can beat Real Madrid

Gareth Bale says there's great self-belief inside Tottenham that they can overcome Champions League opponents Real Madrid.

Bale could get a chance to further enhance his burgeoning reputation on the continent when Spurs face Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League tomorrow night.

"We're all really looking forward to the game. We sincerely believe that over the two games we can get through," said Bale, who is facing a race to be fit for tomorrow's first leg at the Bernabéu. "They are a fantastic team, I've seem them almost every week for years, I love the Spanish league. But we know how to beat them.

"Madrid play on the counter and the three players up front have a lot of quality. Mourinho has them well-organised, Xabi Alonso always knows what the game needs. A draw at the Bernabéu would be very good."
