Tottenham Hotspur qualified for the Europa League last night.
Harry Redknapp has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on the 8th December on TalkSPORT, that he believes Tottenham Hotspur will go all out to win the Europa League this season.
Spurs confirmed their place in Europe’s second tier competition last night, by beating CSKA Moscow at Wembley to finish in third place in their Champions League group.
Tottenham named a strong line-up against the Russian side last night, to ensure that they made it into the Europa League.
And Redknapp said: “It [the Europa League] is difficult, because it certainly has an affect on your league position every year.
“It’s hard to fight on both fronts, but he put his best team out last night and he obviously wants to stay in this competition. Now they’re in it, I think they’ll go all out to win it.”
Tottenham actually went behind against CSKA Moscow, but they quickly turned things around.
Goals from Harry Kane, Dele Alli and an own-goal from CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, provided Spurs with a 3-1 victory.
Tottenham will find out who they will play in the first knockout stage of the Europa League on Friday, when the draw is made.
Spurs also still have hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League by breaking into the Premier League’s top four. Mauricio Pochettino’s side currently sit just three points behind fourth placed Manchester City.
