Spurs protect a 2-1 lead at White Hart Lane when they look for a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup, while they also have the Carling Cup final on Sunday to prepare for - and Woodgate feels they could win both competitions.

"It's possible," said the 28-year-old defender. "I'd like to think so and that's why I joined the club."

He continued: "Especially with the players and the manager we have got. We can produce and, if we produce on the day, we can beat teams.

"There are some great sides left in like Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. But we are a good side as well and I think teams will be wanting us out of the draw."

Manager Ramos is looking for a hat-trick of UEFA Cups after winning in the last two seasons with Sevilla. He also won the Copa del Rey with the Spanish club before joining Spurs in October.

He has turned around results at White Hart Lane in four months but winning silverware is seen as the next step for the squad.

For Woodgate, it would mean a first trophy of his career.

"I'd take anything to be honest," he said. "A title is a title. It's on your CV - UEFA Cup, Carling Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, whatever. It's a winners' medal at the end of the day.

"It gives you a taste of the winning mentality. Our team can go places and if it can get the winning mentality then it will."
