Royal Antwerp star Rafaelov admits that the visitors are clear favourites to win the tie, but vowed that his team will do everything in their power to snatch at least one point from the Premier League giants.
Rafaelov is fully aware of the quality of Tottenham, who play in the best league in the world in his opinion, but stressed that the game begins with both teams evenly placed and the 34-year-old has every intention of finishing the tie with equilibrium intact.
“Less than two years ago, they were in the Champions League final!”, Rafaelov told a pre-match press conference.
“They are a high-level team playing in the best league in the world every weekend.
“We start at 0-0, it is already in our pocket, then we’ll see, but we want at least one point.
