Harry Redknapp has claimed that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is “probably the best in the world”.
The Spurs cult hero spoke to Tuttomercatoweb ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League meeting with AC Milan.
Tottenham are trailing 1-0 from the last-16 first-leg encounter against the Rossoneri at the San Siro.
On Wednesday night, Spurs will get the chance to overturn the tie and hopefully reach the quarter-finals.
With Tottenham blowing hot and cold this season, Champions League progress will be just the tonic for the club and fans.
Back in 2011, Redknapp steered Spurs past Milan and into the quarter-finals of the competition.
And like this year’s tie, Tottenham played the first leg in Italy before hosting the Rossoneri in North London.
White Hart Lane was Spurs’ home back then. Now, the 62,000-seater Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will enjoy a classic European night.
Redknapp reckons the atmosphere at the ground will make all the difference in the second leg.
“Tottenham’s stadium, in my opinion, is probably the best in the world,” he told TMW. “It’s incredible, really.”
Tottenham and fans must go all out
Spurs have, for the most part, done much better at home than they have away this season.
They’ve certainly been able to beat anyone at N17 on their day, including Manchester City not long ago.
Let’s hope that Redknapp is right and that Spurs can indeed up their game and get the better of Milan.
This remains Tottenham’s best chance of securing silverware this season, so Spurs must make the most of it.
