Rafa van der Vaart reflects on 'special' visit to Wembley
Rafa receives a warm reception at Wembley at our match against Real MadridOne of the most popular players of the modern era, Rafa was back for our Champions League win against another of his former clubs, Real Madrid.
It was a special night. A 3-1 win booked our place in the knockout stage of the competition – something Rafa helped us achieve back in 2010-11 – and for the Dutchman, a reminder, if it was needed, just how much he’s loved here at Spurs as Wembley rose together to sing his name at half-time.
The response was the same on our Facebook live special 90 minutes before kick-off.
