London's "Tottenham" defender Danny Rose believes that the team can be inspired by last year's achievements against Madrid's "Real" club in matches against "Barcelona."
"Tottenham" faces a very important match on Wednesday at "Wembley" stadium - "Barcelona" with Lionel Messi arrive to fight for victory. The "Spurs" lost in the first round to Inter Milan, so the situation requires points.
Last season in the group stage, "Tottenham" competed against Madrid's "Real," but did not actually lose to this giant - a draw in Spain and a victory at "Wembley" stadium.
"Last season we went to the 'Santiago Bernabeu' stadium and only through chance we did not win those matches. We outplayed them when we played at 'Wembley' stadium. We did the same with 'Borussia.' We proved that we can compete with anyone," the Englishman shared his thoughts with ESPN.
"In London we will meet Messi, who is my favorite football player. Of course, the coach expects us to enter the field without fearing him. We believe that we can play good matches and get the desired result.
If we play as a team, we can punish Barcelona and Messi himself. The match is definitely not just about Lionel. They have the highest class attacking trio, who will be ready to punish us if we do not stick to our plan.
These will be huge matches. We need a victory, that's what we are focusing on. We were disappointed with how the match in Milan ended, so we cannot repeat such mistakes and we must win on Wednesday," spoke D. Rose positively.
These clubs met in a preseason friendly this summer - the match ended in a 2:2 draw.
