AC Milan 0 Tottenham 1 highlights 15/2/11

Juande Ramos appeared to have the midas touch when he walked into White Hart Lane to take over the reigns in 2007 as he gave them immediate league cup glory but it didn't prove enough for Spurs as they went on to dwindle until Redknapp took over at the start of the 2008-09 campaign. There are parallels as when Redknapp took to the managers chair, Tottenham again featured in a league cup final, only to unluckily lose out to Manchester United on penalties but went on to keep the Londoners in the premier league at the end of that season. He has since been able to get the best of squad members such as Gareth Bale, Michael Dawson and Tom Huddlestone and steered them into the champions league second round which takes place tonight and sitting in a proud 4th position in the premier league which a game in hand on 3rd place Manchester City.

Milan have a serious point to prove as since their 2007 win over Liverpool, Milan have been dismal in the champions league. They only managed to reach the second round in 2007-08 where they were knocked out by Arsenal, they didn't qualify for 2008-09 and they were resoundly dumped out at the second round point by Manchester United, losing 3-2 at home and being trounced 4-0 at Old Trafford. The match takes place at the San Siro stadium and kicks off at 7:45pm.
