Spurs beat the Norwegian side 3-1 in Thursday's (01.05.25) first leg and the manager believes that his team will progress to the Bilbao showpiece if they can replicate their performance in Scandinavia next week.

Postecoglou said: "I think it puts us in a good position. I thought the players were outstanding today.

"I thought our performance was everything it needed to be, really well organised and disciplined defensively and really calm going forward and created good opportunities for ourselves and maintaining pressure.

"Obviously they scored the goal late, which doesn't I think reflect our dominance in the game, but if we repeat that performance next week, it'll be enough for us to get through.

"I get that Bodo away is a difficult fixture, but so was (Eintracht) Frankfurt away and we went there knowing we had to win to get through and I thought the lads handled it really well.

"I think in Europe this year we've been really good at managing whatever situation we're in. We've had some games where AZ (Alkmaar) we lost away from home, but had to come back and showed real calm and composure to win to get through here.

"I think all those experiences give me the belief we can go there and get the job done."

Spurs attackers James Maddison and Dominic Solanke both went off injured in the second half but Postecoglou is hoping that the problems aren't "significant".

He said: "Madders felt a tweak in his knee, but it doesn't sound like it's anything serious.

"Dom something similar in his quad. Both of them didn't feel it was anything too significant, but thought it was wise just to take them off at that point.'
