Asked if the Tottenham win will reverberate across Europe, Nevin said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “Not just the result but the performance as well.
“At 3-1, I am a bit disappointed for Spurs as it could and should have been 4-0 at one point.
"They looked like scoring every time they broke and in that second half, they were the better team by a distance.
“It will reverberate around Europe bur also around north London. Their fans will believe that we can do this now and do not be afraid of anybody.
“A lot of things will remain in my memory but the thing that will remain in my memory the most will be the ‘Ole’s’ against Real Madrid.”
Tottenham will look to hold on to the momentum when they host Crystal Palace at Wembley on Sunday.
