Real Madrid vs Spurs – Champions League Preview – Tottenham face the toughest test of their season so far as they travel to Spain in the UEFA Champions League to face the current holders, Real Madrid.
Both sides have noticeable absentees ahead of Tuesday night’s fixture. Welshman and ex-Tottenham winger Gareth Bale is still sidelined with an injury whilst Dele Alli and Danny Rose are unavailable for the visitors.
Real Madrid and Spurs are odd as even at the top of Group H with six points; as well as having scored six goals each and conceded one. A victory for either side would guarantee top spot in the group halfway through the group stages.

The hosts most recently featured in La Liga against Getafe where they scraped a 2-1 victory thanks to a late goal from their Portuguese talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo. There is no doubt that Ronaldo poses the largest threat to the Spurs defence however, Madrid are not a one-man team. Youngster Marco Asensio has burst onto the scene in dramatic fashion scoring big goals in big games. Isco has also gone from strength to strength under Zinedine Zidane’s supervision and could feature this Tuesday at the Bernabeu.
