Tottenham Hotspur keeper says club can reach Champions League final
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes says that the English Premier League club have enough talent within their ranks to go all the way to the UEFA Champions League final.
Spurs are featuring in Europe's elite club competition for the first time this season after finishing in fourth place last term.
They had to make it through a qualifying round to reach the group stages. Their hopes had looked to be dashed when Swiss side Young Boys raced into a 3-0 lead in the first leg of the play-off. But Harry Redknapp's side scored twice in that game before beating
Young Boys 4-0 at White Hart Lane.
Spurs have gone on to impress in the group stage, with two standout performances against Inter Milan, including a valiant effort in a 4-3 loss at the San Siro preceding a dominant display in a 3-1 win over the defending European champions two weeks later,
proving that the London side belong on the European stage.
As a result of their efforts so far in the competition, which have also seen them beat German side Werder Bremen 3-0, Gomes has tipped Spurs to go all the way to the final, which will be held at Wembley Stadium in their home city in May.
When asked by a reporter if reaching the final was in his thoughts, Gomes replied, "A little bit. The next step is Twente first and then, of course, we need to be prepared for the next one. For the English teams, it is so special when you play at Wembley."
The match against Werder, on Wednesday 24 November, saw Spurs maintain their first clean sheet in 17 matches, but Gomes claimed that he did not care how many goals he let past him, as long as his side kept on winning.
"The most important thing for me is winning. It's a great feeling after you keep a clean sheet, but you just try to win games."
