Bale keeps the faith
Gareth Bale insists Tottenham can still make the semi-finals of the Champions League despite Tuesday night's thrashing at the Bernabeu.
Tottenham's remarkable debut season in the competition looks to have come to an end after Real Madrid hammered home four without reply in the first leg of the quarter-final clash.
Emmanuel Adebayor (two), Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria were all on target as Spurs struggled to recover from Peter Crouch's early dismissal and they now go into next week's second leg as huge underdogs.
Harry Redknapp admitted that his side were facing an uphill task to stay in the competition, but Bale refused to throw the towel in, insisting that he and his team-mates will not roll over next Wednesday at White Hart Lane.
"We have to play at our best, stop their best players and score goals at White Hart Lane. It's going to be a difficult task, everyone knows that but I still think it's possible," the 21-year-old said.
"We are not going to sit back and take another beating from them in the second leg. Hopefully we will win and hopefully that win will be enough. Anything can happen. We will be ready for them."
