Spurs can beat Barca - Crouch
Peter Crouch believes even Barcelona may not be good enough to stop Tottenham reaching the Champions League final this season.
Spurs edged into the last eight of the competition with a 1-0 aggregate win over AC Milan thanks to Crouch's second-half strike in the San Siro three weeks ago.
The goalless second leg at White Hart Lane may have been a bit edgy at times but Tottenham were the better of the two sides over the two legs and now found themselves in the quarter-finals after a remarkable debut season in the competition.
A dream tie against the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United or Arsenal's conquerors Barcelona could be on the cards for the north Londoners next month. Harry Redknapp's team have seen off Milan, holders Inter, FC Twente, Werder Bremen and Young Boys to make it through to the quarter-finals, leaving Crouch confident Spurs can beat any team left in the competition.
"Why can't we go all the way?" he said. "We're in the quarter-finals, there is not far to go now and we see light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn't matter who we get. We have just beaten the Italian league leaders.
"Barcelona were a joy to watch against Arsenal but we've got match winners in our dressing room and we've proved we can be resilient, so why can't we get to the final? Barcelona are the team to beat and if we drew them in the next round it would be difficult but on our day at White Hart Lane and with the crowd behind us we can beat anyone."
