Redknapp claims place in Champions League final up for grabs

Harry Redknapp insists the race to win the Champions League is wide open, but concedes Barcelona are the team to beat. Spurs are now in the quarter finals of the competition after a 1-0 aggregate win over AC Milan on Wednesday night.

"Barcelona were amazing the other night," he said.

"Arsenal had a man sent off but to outpass Arsenal - who are as good as any team in the Premier League and were made to look so ordinary - (Barca) are as good a team as I've seen in my time in football, they're the team to beat for anybody.

"We're in the last eight and we look forward to the next round when it comes up. You can't pick who you draw - we were in the toughest group but we won that.

"They'll be two fantastic games, whoever we draw."

And he added on Sky Sports News: "Anyone could win it, you never know - Jose (Mourinho) won it with Porto (in 2004) when they weren't expected to.

"The favourites are the two Spanish clubs (Barca and Real Madrid), there are two fantastic English clubs with Manchester United and Chelsea but we're in there, let's see where it takes us - it's been a great adventure and we want more of it, we want to see if we can go all the way."
