Tottenham Hotspur are in a good position to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Spurs ace Lucas Moura spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his first start for his new club, and responded to questions asking him whether he thinks his side can win the Champions League this season, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
The Brazilian joined Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day last month, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £25 million, and he has already shown exciting glimpses of what he is capable of.
Moura’s arrival at Spurs is expected to provide Mauricio Pochetino’s side with added impetus in forward areas, and he will surely help lift some of the burden attached to Christian Eriksen’s shoulders.
The 25-year-old winger spoke to reporters after notching his first goal for the Lilywhites, and responded to questions asking him if his side can compete for the Champions League this season, as quoted by the Evening Standard:
“Every player wants to win trophies, to make history and I am here to make history with my new friends. I believe that because we have a lot of quality, a great structure and I think we can dream with the Champions League. Why not? I gained a lot of experience at PSG and I think I can help Tottenham. The Champions League is the most difficult trophy but we have the capacity to win it.”
Tottenham are in a fantastic position from which to progress through the the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier competition, having drawn 2-2 away at Juventus in the first-leg of their last 16 tie against the Turin giants.
And with Moura now amongst their ranks, it would take a brave man to bet against them advancing against the Old Lady.
