Harry Winks: Real Madrid respect Tottenham ahead of UCL tie

LONDON -- Harry Winks believes Tottenham earned Real Madrid's respect at the Santiago Bernabeu and says their ongoing success in the Champions League gives them cause for confidence as they prepare to face the European champions again.

Having previously secured back-to-back wins over Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia in their opening two Group H matches, Mauricio Pochettino's side held Real to a 1-1 draw in Madrid earlier this month.

That tie left the two teams level at the top of the group with identical records, and they will meet once more at Wembley on Wednesday night.
