Bale out but AVB sure Spurs can complete Inter mission

Spurs have one foot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after Bale inspired the team to a 3-0 victory in the first leg of their last 16 tie last week. Despite the drubbing, Inter are expected to rest a number of their top players as their priority is to qualify for the Champions League via Serie A, where they currently sit in joint fifth position after a disappointing loss against Bologna at the weekend.
Although Tottenham lost ground in their own hunt for Champions League qualification on Sunday when they lost to Liverpool, Villas-Boas is determined to land the Europa League trophy and will therefore resist temptation to rest the likes of Aaron Lennon, Mousa Dembele and Jermain Defoe.
