Why it is the 'right moment' for Red Star Belgrade to face Tottenham in the Champions League

Red Star Belgrade defender Nemanja Milunovic believes it is the "right moment" to play Tottenham following their recent results.

The Lilywhites have yet to win in the Champions League this season and they go into tomorrow's game on the back of a 7-2 drubbing against Bayern Munich.

The Serbian side actually sit above the Lilywhites at present and they will be hoping to return home unbeaten ahead of the return game at the Rajko Mitic Stadium at the start of November.

Qualifying for the knockout phase in the final group game almost 12 months ago, Spurs desperately need the three points but the defender has claimed his side will play their game and create chances to trouble the hosts.

"Tottenham are in crisis at the moment but this is not reality for them," he said. "All these players played in the final last year.

"We have a lot of respect for them but we will play our game and create chances.

"This is the right moment [to play Spurs], but it’s dangerous.

"I just want to say again let’s not forget what kind of team we are playing against."

Milunovic will come up against Harry Kane in N17 and he is well aware of what exactly he will have to deal with having played against Robert Lewandowski in the first group game.

"This is one of the best forwards in Europe, he added. "We managed to stop Bayern and we hope tomorrow we can do the same.

"There’s 11 of us and we are going to do our best."
