Two weeks ago, one of the closest-fought and most entertaining matches of the Champions League group stage so far was Real Madrid facing off against Tottenham Hotspur at the Santiago Bernabeu. This time, those teams square off again, this time in Wembley, and the winner of this match could ultimately win the group.
Last time around, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur fought to a 1-1 standstill, but many felt Spurs edged the game in terms of overall play. Regardless, it was an intense match that was enthralling to watch, and everyone watching will be hoping for more of the same this time around.
Tottenham will be hoping to use an advantage in health to take control of this match, missing just Victor Wanyama from their midfield while being healthy elsewhere. Madrid are without Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal, Mateo Kovacic, Keylor Navas, and Raphael Varane, leaving them thin in every area of the pitch. They have the depth to compensate to an extent, but they lost in unfortunate fashion at the weekend — though Spurs’ own form isn’t the best, with two straight losses to be concerned about.
Regardless of that form, though, both of these teams are going to put every ounce of fight they can into this match, and it’s going to be a lot of fun to watch.
