Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro has revealed he has a 'dream' to play for Real Madrid one day, according to an interview via Cadena SER.
Porro and Spurs fell further into crisis on Thursday night when Crystal Palace came from behind to beat them 3-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham went into the clash with Oliver Glasner's men knowing they needed a positive result after a win and a draw for West Ham United and Nottingham Forest respectively on Wednesday left them just one point above the relegation zone.
There was hope of that when they took the lead through Dominic Solanke ten minutes before the break, but between then and half-time Igor Tudor's men had Micky van de Ven sent off and conceded three times.
Spurs' players looked bewildered while many fans had seen enough well before the final whistle, with something big now needed to stop them dropping into the Championship.
Porro: I Need to Improve to Secure 'Dream' Move
Spanish defender Porro has been speaking to radio in his home country ahead of their two-legged Champions League knockout tie with Atletico Madrid, having recently made his first-team comeback for Spurs following a hamstring injury.
The 26-year-old has started Tottenham's previous two Premier League matches, albeit both have ended in disappointment for him and his teammates.
While Porro acknowledged that the north London outfit's league form has been a 'disaster', he also revealed his 'dream' to play for Real Madrid.
When asked by Cadena SER if he could imagine himself in the famous white shirt with the uncertainty over Dani Carvajal and as Trent Alexander-Arnold adapts to life at the Bernabeu, the Spaniard said:
When you're little, you dream a lot of things, but on a day-to-day basis I think about my reality, and when you think about playing for the best teams in the world, you know that you still have things to improve.
Porro 'Very Angry' After Tottenham Decision
Porro was the most visibly animated Tottenham player last night, and he was particularly unhappy after being taken off in the 74th-minute.
The 26-year-old not only appeared to show his displeasure at the substitution towards Tudor, but he was also 'very angry' on the substitutes' bench, having been seen 'smashing everything' on it.
While it is good to see that frustration and passion from the Spaniard, Spurs now need him and his other senior teammates to step up and make the difference in the coming fixtures.
Tudor will hope to have more players back from injury and suspension against Liverpool in nine days' time, and the team needs to put in the performance of their lives to get something at Anfield.
