  • Navas (8) produced two superb saves from Kane and was unlucky with own goal
  • Coach Mauricio Pochettino (7.5) enhanced his reputation with suprise line-up

Hugo Lloris stole the show as the Frenchman's stunning save helped earn Tottenham a memorable draw with Real Madrid.

Spurs took a surprise lead at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night through Raphael Varane's own goal, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to level from the penalty spot after Serge Aurier had fouled Toni Kroos. 

Sportsmail's Rob Draper delivered his verdict.

Real Madrid (4-3-3)

Keylor Navas 8

Two superb saves from Kane, unlucky with the own goal.

Acharf 6

Well contained by Eriksen and Vertongen and looked vulnerable when attacked.

Raphael Varane 6

Got bullied by Kane at times and unsettled for the own goal, but often had class and speed to recover.

Sergio Ramos 7

Imposing but occasionally showed weakness when Tottenham launched those series of first-half counter attacks.

Marcelo 7

Had a spell when he seemed to struggle with Aurier but recovered and was strong defensively and in attack.

Kroos 7.5

Smooth as ever and clever to win the penalty, surging into box to invite challenge form Aurier.

Casimero 7

Lovey player and but left exposed when Spurs countered with too many men to chase.

Modric 8.5

Just the finest passer of the ball, the best midfielder on the pitch One pass on 36 minutes inside Spurs defence defied laws of physics.

Ronaldo 8

Came alive in the second half; only Lloris thwarted him. As for the penalty, never a doubt he would score.

Benzema 6.5

Wasteful early on and then denied by a superb Lloris save in second half.

Isco 7.5

Always a threat, continued fine form and looks more at home than ever as star of this side.

Subs

Asenio for Benzema 76, 6

Vazquez for Isco, 87 no mark

Coach

ZInedine Zidane 6.5

Left his team terribly exposed on the counter at times in the first half. Rectified in much better second half, though still vulnerable.

Tottenham (5-3-2)

Hugo Lloris 8.5

Superb. The improvised save with feet from Benzema was outstanding; the one from Ronaldo’s strike even better.

Segre Aurier 6.5

Superb at times going forward as in the own goal; but always prone to the type of error that gave away penalty

Davinson Sanchez 7

Steady and composed: a fine performance under pressure from the best

Tottenham gambled with two strikers in the Bernabeu and were rewarded with a point

Eric Dier 7

Commanding performance at heart of back five – food for thought for Gareth Southgate

Toby Alderweireld 7.5

Solid, robust and generally everything you would expect from Premier League’s finest

Jan Vertonghen 7

Muscular and experienced. Apart from early scares largely kept Achraf quiet

Moussa Sissoko 6.5

Did the muscularity and physicality well – but was untidy at times in possession

Harry Winks 7

Kroos and Modric to counter in midfield? Pochettino trusts young players and they respond. An excellent night

Christian Eriksen 7

Playing deeper didn’t get to show attacking strengths until 73 minutes when forced Navas save

Fernando Llorente 7

Full of running for team; might have had penalty; lovely ball for Kane chance on 70 minutes

Harry Kane 7

Even if he was marginally offside for the own goal, his presence made it. Denied by Navas on 70 minutes when he could have won it

Coach 

Mauricio Pochettino 7.5 

What looked like a defensive shape morphed into effective counter attacking unit. Surprised everyone and enhance his reputation

Subs

Rose for Llorent 80, 6

Son for Sissoko, 89 No mark

Referee

Szymon Marciniak (Poland) 6

Assistant missed the offside for Tottenham goal but he got Aurier penalty call right.
