‘Big Man’ joins Gomes for mission improbable

HARRY REDKNAPP has wanted to make a big signing all season, but if his goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes is to be believed, Tottenham could have God on their side as they attempt the impossible against Real Madrid tomorrow.

Redknapp admitted his side have a “mountain to climb” if they are to overturn the 4-0 lead Jose Mourinho’s men will bring to White Hart Lane, following their thrashing in Spain last week.

But Spurs have come back against the odds many times this season, and Gomes has been in other sides that have surmounted seemingly-impossible obstacles. When the Brazilian was playing for PSV Eindhoven, they went into the final game of the 2006/7 season needing to score five goals against Vitesse Arnhem to win the Dutch Eredivisie title ahead of Ajax, who were level on points having scored more goals.
