Tottenham Hotspur stadium: Harry Redknapp urges Spurs to get new ground ready for Champions League quarter-final
Harry Redknapp has urged Tottenham to get their new 1billion stadium open in time for the Champions League quarter-finals.The former manager told talkSPORT it would be great reward for fans and their patience by opening their new home with a bang in Europe.Spurs sealed their place in the Champions League last eight for only the second time in their history with a 1-0 win at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, going through 4-0 on aggregate.3

The clubs new stadium was infamously advertised as being the only place in London where fans could watch Champions League football this season, which only invited laughter from rival fans after the many delays which have yet to see it opened.However, that claim may now become a reality. A move-in date has not yet been confirmed, but Spurs are apparently confident they have played their last domestic game at Wembley.Latest reports suggest Spurs hopes of hosting their quarter-final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could hinge on whether they are drawn to play at home first, as playing the second-leg at home would give them more time to prepare for hosting a match of such magnitude.3

Will Tottenham fans finally be able to enjoy Champions League football at their new stadium?

And Redknapp says it would be a huge boost for the club, the fans and the team if they are able to host the last-eight clash at the new White Hart Lane.It would be an incredible atmosphere if they played the Champions League quarter-final there – the fans would love it, the former manager said on Wednesdays Sports Breakfast.Had they not gone through, I would have said they may as well have stayed at Wembley for the rest of their league games.But now theyre in the quarter finals, if they could get through to the next round of the competition at the new White Hart Lane, it would be amazing for the club.getty3

Tottenham are putting the finishing touches in their amazing new 1billion stadium

Tottenhams progression, sealed by Harry Kanes goal at the Westfalenstadion, will have given the club renewed hope of bringing home a trophy this season.And while the odds are obviously against them, Redknapp says there could well be a surprise winner this season after Real Madrid winners for the last three years were dumped out by Ajax.Once youre in the last eight, youve got a chance, he added.They wouldnt be favourites for me, as a betting man theyd be 10/1 shot still, but its not impossible.Who is going to win it this year? Its so open, there is no stand-out super team. Manchester City will be favourites, but theyre not unbeatable.Its a wide open competition and there could be a real upset this year who saw Ajax going to Real Madrid and winning like that? It was unbelievable!
