Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will not play the kids for their Champions League return-leg date with Real Madrid.
The 4-0 loss means Spurs need to create a huge upset to avoid tumbling out of the competition in the second leg at White Hart Lane, but while Redknapp knows the odds are stacked against them, he is refusing to concede the tie is definitely over.
"Well, it's going to be very difficult. It certainly couldn't be much more difficult than being 4-0 down to Real Madrid, but we're at home, we'll give it a go," said Redknapp, whose side gave Inter Milan a huge scare in the group stages after trailing 4-0 at half-time at the San Siro by pulling back three second-half goals.
"It's never over until it's over and you never know, though obviously we've got a mountain to climb, there's no doubt about that.
"I knew it would be a difficult night here but to come here and lose a player after 10 minutes made it impossible for us really.
"It was a case then of trying to hold on, even at 2-0 I thought 'let's get out of here with 2-0 and we've done a miracle', but we ran out of legs in the end. We ended up with people out there who were struggling, so it was difficult.
"But we've done fantastic (in the Champions League), it's been a great experience so far, and there's still a game to come at White Hart Lane."
