Tottenham sports chief Damien Comolli admits being successful in Europe is becoming an "obsession" at White Hart Lane.

"It is becoming an obsession at the club to be in Europe every year - which is a very good obsession," Comolli said.

"It is a very important competition for us and we are really pleased to be in it at this stage.

"Juande Ramos is a winner and he wants to be in Europe. While we are there, he wants to do very well - because he is used to winning trophies at the end of the season."
