Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: Tottenham can beat Real Madrid in Champions League

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: Tottenham can beat Real Madrid in Champions League

Frenchman believes it is a tie that can go either way, and says Spurs have the advantage as they play the second leg at White Hart Lane




Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes rivals Tottenham have a "50-50" chance of beating Real Madrid.

The two sides meet on Tuesday at the Bernabeu for the first leg of their Champions League double-header.

And Bernabeu boss Jose Mourinho had previously written off Spurs' chances of making the semi-finals of the competition, but the Frenchman believes otherwise.

"It is very open," Wenger said, according to The Guardian.

"Who cannot be beaten? If everything went all right, Barcelona would be out today ... if it had stayed 11 v 11, I am convinced of that.

"So why can't Spurs beat Madrid? Madrid has a disadvantage to play the first game at home and Spurs look to be strong at home. It is a real 50-50 tie."
