Dimitar Berbatov believes former club Tottenham Hotspur 'are clearly going places' after reaching the Carabao Cup final.
Jose Mourinho's men progressed to the final after beating Championship outfit Brentford on Tuesday night thanks to goals from Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min.
Spurs are closing in on a 13-year trophy drought but they now have a chance to end that at the end of April when they take on Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.
City defeated local rivals Manchester United in their semi-final to set up an exciting final between old rivals Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.
Speaking about the achievement, Berbatov - who was at the club during their 2007/08 League Cup-winning campaign - said the final will be a real opportunity for Spurs and that they have the right man at the helm ahead of that game in Mourinho.
"Mourinho against Guardiola is going to be great TV," he told Betfair. "I hope it can be the moment when Spurs turn the corner and start winning trophies.
"We all know why Mourinho was brought in at Spurs and we all know his record. He's gunning for a trophy, it doesn't matter what kind or how they win it, so the League Cup is a massive opportunity for him.
"Spurs haven't won anything since I was there, and now this is a big test to challenge and see where they are at. When that whistle blows it doesn't matter how they perform, they just have to win.
"It will be a big boost for the team's winning mentality and I doubt they'd have to wait another 13 years to lift another trophy. Spurs are clearly going places."
Berbatov did warn, however, that Spurs must keep their cool and not get ahead of themselves having reached the final, adding: "It's great to see Spurs in a final, and I bet everyone is happy.
"But I see teams celebrating reaching the final like they won it, even though there is still one final step to take before you lift the trophy.
"Nobody remembers who finished runners up. Spurs need to be calm and concentrated, they are in a final, but that is a couple of months away. Mourinho has been here many times, he knows what it takes to prepare his team for a final. "
