“It’s up to other people now to show their qualities up front so I think we created some chances against a very good team and we have to believe that others will step up and make goals.”
Tottenham are lucky in that they can draw on the inspiration of Ajax last season, where they also overturned a first leg 1-0 home defeat to reach the Champions League final on away goal after a win in Amsterdam.
“We are still in it,” Alderweireld declared. “Of course we wanted a better result but we know we have the quality to win everywhere we want, everywhere we play.
“We proved last season we can score everywhere. We will need some luck, but it’s only the first half, second half to come.
“This tie is not over. We can win the second game, we can go there and win the game. We must believe that we have the players and the experience to do it.”
