Both teams have a 100 per cent record from their opening two matches after Kane’s perfect hat-trick gave the North Londoners a 3-0 win over Apoel Nicosia in Cyprus on Tuesday night.

The England ace said: “That has given us confidence going to Madrid definitely. We feel we can beat anyone on our day.

“Of course we know it will be tough but two good teams, an open game probably. It will probably come down again to who is more clinical in the final third, hopefully that can be us.

“We are going there to win, not just to get a result, and we will see what happens.”

All eyes will be on sharpshooters Kane and Ronaldo and the Spurs man admitted: “I’ve never met him before but I I’m a fan, of course. I’m a fan of all great footballers and he is one of the best, specially of my generation.

“We probably won’t be up against each other much in the game but it’s always great to play the best in the world.

“They have one of the best defences with Ramos, Marcelo, players like that. I want to test myself against the best and they have been the best the last few years without a doubt.

“I’m looking forward to it as I’ve never been to the Bernabeu. So it’s going to be exciting.

“I want to put in a performance like I have been recently.”
