Tottenham Hotspur booked their place in the Europa League with last night’s victory.
Speaking on BT Sport’s live broadcast of the Champions League, Liverpool legend and current BT Sport pundit Steve McManaman shared how he believes Spurs can win the Europa League, on the condition that they take the competition seriously.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men eased to a 3-1 Champions League win last night over CSKA Moscow, and subsequently ensured their qualification into the Europa League.

And McManaman explained how there is no reason why Tottenham do not have a realistic chance of winning the competition, when speaking on BT Sport’s Champions League broadcast:
“I think all the English teams have a chance. The Europa League doesn’t have the same strength as last year and, there’s no Sevilla. I think they’ll have a great chance. If they want to go the whole way, if they take it seriously, why can’t they go to the final?”
Tottenham fans will most likely prefer their side to focus on their performances in the Premier League, although a good run in Europe would surely help inject some confidence back into the club as a whole.

And with everyone back fit and firing, Spurs have every chance of being able to compete on all fronts – something that has been called into question in the past.
Pochettino’s men face a tricky trip to Old Trafford on Sunday to take on Manchester United, and a win for Tottenham would certainly confirm their status as genuine title contenders.
