Toby Alderweireld believes Tottenham’s display against Liverpool proves they can compete with the very best sides in Europe.
Spurs were beaten by title-chasing Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield at the end of March, however, the visitors had many chances to win it before Alderweireld’s own goal earned the Reds three valuable points.

Speaking ahead of the first leg on Tuesday at Spurs’ new stadium, Alderweireld said: “I’m confident, especially how we played in the game with Liverpool. It gives us belief.
“In one of the toughest games away, we showed we can play well, defend and create chances to kill the match.
