Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks: Use Madrid heartache as motivation

Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks says they can take inspiration from last season's run to the Champions League final.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool cruised to a 2-0 victory after taking the lead inside the first three minutes in Madrid in June.

Winks said: “We know, getting to the Champions League final, there is going to be high pressure on us getting there again and maybe to go one further and win it.

“We don't read too much into that, we take it game by game.

“So our first thought is Olympiakos on Wednesday, we have to take that game as it comes and then hopefully we can get a result."

He added: “When you get that close to winning the final, it is upsetting and disappointing.

“There is no better way than trying to go one step further like Liverpool did.

“It is obviously everyone's dream to get back there but we can't look too far into the future, it is all about taking it game by game and hopefully we can pick up as many wins as possible."
