Redknapp is supporting Chelsea to win Champions League

The Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp knows full well that if Chelsea win the Champions League then the fourth-placed team in the Premiership will end up in the Europa League, but he still wants the English side to beat the Spaniards.

If you wanted to have a bet on the Champions League Final then Chelsea are an amazing 10/1 to win in the Nou Camp, but Redknapp still thinks the Blues can win the game.

He said yesterday: “I will be rooting for Chelsea on Tuesday. I have not even thought about the consequences for Tottenham if they win it,”

“From our point of view if Chelsea stay in it and have a Champions League final as well coming up, they have a lot on their plate then. I want to see an English team win, I want to see them beat Barcelona. Why not?

“I think they can beat them. They were fortunate the other night. They defended for their lives and rode their luck, Barcelona hit the post and whatever.

“But I said before the game it was one they can win. 1-0 is a fantastic first-leg result. Barcelona are the best team in the world, but at the moment Chelsea are in the driving seat.”

You have to give full marks to Harry for supporting Tottenham’s hated rivals against Barcelona, but I reckon you will find ALL spurs fans supporting Chelsea against Arsenal today!
