Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has predicted that Tottenham will not win the Champions League this season.
Spurs have secured progression to the last 16 of Europe’s Premier club competition through their 3-1 victory against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
This win proves that the North London club have what it takes to defeat the big-guns of World football and also would have raised hopes among some factions of their supporters that they can go all the way and win the Champions League this season.
Merson however does not see that happen saying, “What Tottenham did to Real Madrid was brilliant. I don’t think they can win the Champions League, but they should be among the favourites with the bookies after that.
“They have not had an easy draw but they have walked that group and it should give them so much confidence.”
It is certainly difficult to see Spurs winning the Champions League considering that teams such as Barcelona, PSG and Manchester City are also vying for the title. However if they get good draws, they can go far.
