Spurs draw Real Madrid in Champions League quarter-final

18 March 2011
Chelsea have been paired with Premier League leaders Manchester United in a repeat of the 2008 Final in Moscow and the winners of that tie will face Inter or Schalke in the last four of the competition.
Spurs will travel to the Bernabeu to play the nine-time European champions for the first leg on April 5, with the return leg at White Hart Lane eight days later. Harry Redknapp will pit his wits against Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, who is aiming to become the first manager to win the competition with three different clubs.
Redknapp has lost all five previous meetings against the former Chelsea manager but Spurs have already knocked out AC Milan this season after topping a group containing holders Inter.
Mourinho lifted the trophy last season with Inter and with Porto in 2004 and bookmakers reacted to today's draw by pushing Tottenham out from 14-1 to 20-1 to win Europe's premier prize for the first time.
Spurs first-team coach Joe Jordan will miss the first leg in Spain as he will serve a one-match touchline ban after UEFA suspended him following his part in a bust-up with AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso last month. Real are second in La Liga, five points behind Barcelona, who were paired with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Chelsea's first leg will be played at Stamford Bridge on April 6. The return match is six days later.
