Tottenham boss Redknapp: We must not take AC Milan lightly

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is determined for his players not to take AC Milan lightly ahead of the second-leg of their Champions League tie.

Redknapp warned the job is not done yet.

"We went to Young Boys first game, were 3-0 down after 20 minutes and I thought 'well, this is the end of our European campaign'," he said. "But we came out of that one then won the group and now we've got a chance to reach the last eight.

"But it's still not over this tie. They'll be coming to White Hart Lane and they've got forwards that can hurt you so it's still going to be dangerous.

"We've just got to keep going. I think everyone just wanted to avoid Barcelona really, but then Arsenal are in a good position and could go there and turn them over. It's not impossible, it's all to play for.

"I watched Bayern Munich last night get a good result at Inter Milan (1-0) so you'd have to say the two favourites are Barcelona and Real Madrid."

It is all a far cry from when Redknapp stepped into the Spurs hotseat following the sacking of Juande Ramos in October 2008, with the team bottom of the Premier League.

"It's been unbelievable, from where we were when we started out to where we are now," said Redknapp. "We've been lucky, it's been upwards all the way.

"But you never know in this game, you can have a great run then a couple of defeats and suddenly it all turns."
