Pedro Porro admits Real Madrid dream amid Tottenham relegation fears

Tottenham defender Pedro Porro has revealed a desire to play for Real Madrid while admitting his frustration during the club’s deepening relegation crisis.

The 26-year-old spoke to Spanish radio station Cadena SER about his future ambitions amid a turbulent week for the north London side.

Porro’s comments emerged shortly after Spurs suffered a damaging 3-1 home defeat by Crystal Palace on Thursday night.

The Spain international acknowledged the club’s current league form has been a “disaster” but refused to hide his long-term career goals.

With speculation surrounding Real Madrid’s defensive options, the full-back was asked about the possibility of one day wearing the famous white shirt.

“When you’re little, you dream a lot of things, but on a day-to-day basis I think about my reality,” said Porro.

“When you think about playing for the best teams in the world, you know that you still have things to improve.”

Tensions boil over for Tudor

The timing of the interview coincides with a period of significant unrest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium under manager Igor Tudor.

Spurs currently sit just one point above the Premier League relegation zone following a string of poor results.

Porro was visibly furious during the loss to Palace, particularly after being substituted in the 74th minute.

Witnesses reported seeing the defender “smashing everything” on the substitutes’ bench following his withdrawal.

Relegation battle intensifies

Tottenham had initially taken the lead through Dominic Solanke before the match unravelled.

The dynamic changed drastically when Micky van de Ven was sent off, allowing Palace to score three times without reply.

Tudor’s side must now regroup quickly as they face a daunting trip to Anfield to play Liverpool in nine days.

The manager will hope to recover several senior players from injury as the club fights to avoid dropping into the Championship.
