Real Madrid‘s Emmanuel Adebayor claims his side do not fear anyone in the Champions League ahead of his team’s first-leg quarter-final against Tottenham on Tuesday evening.

The on-loan Manchester City striker was talking after his side’s shock 1-0 home defeat to Sporting Gijon on Saturday that saw Madrid fall eight points behind leaders Barcelona in La Liga.

Speaking about the match against the English side in midweek, he told Bwin.com: “We must believe in ourselves, if we are afraid we cannot play our game. We will give everything against Tottenham, we have no fear. I think that with this team and coach we can win the Champions League.”

The Togolese player then stressed the importance of making a difference in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, although admitted it will be the return fixture at White Hart Lane that will decide whether Madrid will secure a semi-final birth against either Barcelona or Shakthar Donetsk.

He added: “We have the opportunity to play at home first and we must take an advantage to London so the journey is more comfortable. We must impose our style and score as many goals as we can although the tie will be decided at White Hart Lane.”
