Confident after scoring a hat-trick against APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane asserted that his club will be travelling to play against Real Madrid with the intention of defeating them.
The London club striker scored a hat-trick to help his club win 3-0 in the Champions League away fixture in Cyprus on Tuesday.
Tottenham will travel to Madrid to take on last season’s Champions League winners on October 18.
“We feel we can beat anyone on our day, of course we know it will be tough but it’s two good teams and an open game, probably,” Kane told The Guardian. “It will come down to who is more clinical — hopefully that can be us. We are going there to win, not just to get a result. We will see what happens.”
The 24-year-old who won the Golden Boot in English Premier League last season also revealed he is a big fan of Real’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I’ve never met Ronaldo but I’m a fan of course, I’m a fan of great footballers and he is one of the best — especially of my generation. We probably won’t be up against each other much in the game but it’s always great to play the best in the world,” the English international said.
“They have one of the best defences with [Sergio] Ramos, Marcelo, players like that. I want to test myself against the best and they have been the best in the last few years, without a doubt. It’s going to be exciting. I want to put in a performance like I have been recently.”
Kane, who is the current holder of the EPL Golden Boot has won it for two consecutive time. He also won the Tottenham Hotspur player of the year award in 2014-15.
