Spurs news: Rafael van der Vaart claims new Tottenham stadium is better than San Siro and Santiago Bernabeu

Former Tottenham star Rafael van der Vaart believes the club have a stadium better than Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu.

The Dutch midfielder played for Spurs before joining the La Liga giants in 2010. Van der Vaart was part of the Spurs Legends team that played out a nine-goal thriller against Inter Forever at the new stadium.

Van der Vaart had a role in one of the goals we scored against Inter and loved the new stadium (h/t Football.london):

“It’s great. It was finally so nice to be here. It feels like home, so many people that I know. You see the stadium and when you’re allowed to play a little bit it’s great.”

The Dutchman added that the club is getting “bigger and bigger” and claimed that the stadium belongs to a top team, like Tottenham.

Stadium better than the San Siro

Van der Vaart was asked if the stadium was on the same level as the Bernabeu or the San Siro, but the former Spurs star had a great response to the question:

“Nah, this stadium has a lot more atmosphere.

“The fans are better and I like being here.”

Spurs started their era at the new home with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Son Heung-min was the first scorer for the home side before Christian Eriksen wrapped up the win.

This was the ideal result for the club and it should give us a boost for the remainder of the campaign.
