Lineker backing Tottenham to win Champions League

Tottenham hero Gary Lineker reckons his old club could win the Champions League this season.

Lineker, 50, has been hugely impressed by the way Harry Redknapp's side have coped in their first year in Europe's elite competition.

He told the Daily Star Sunday: "It's been an incredible ride for them and a joy to watch.

"It's one hell of an ask for them to go all the way - that would be quite an achievement. But this tournament has thrown up the odd surprise winner so you never know.

"Whatever happens it's been a great experience and it's brilliant that they've come this far.

"Harry got the organisation right in the first leg against AC Milan. The discipline was excellent from Spurs. At times this season they have conceded too easily but they certainly addressed that and looked pretty dangerous on the counter-attack as well.

"I wasn't particularly surprised because they have so many excellent players."
