In a mammoth Champions League showdown in the Bernabeu, we stuck to our identity and maintained a defensive steel to come away with a creditable 1-1 draw, keeping us level with the Spanish giants at the top of Group H and in a great position to qualify for the knockout stages.
Raphael Varane turned Serge Aurier’s cross into his own net with Harry Kane in close proximity but Real levelled from the penalty spot through Cristiano Ronaldo just before half-time.
Goalkeeper and skipper Hugo Lloris kept us in it after the resumption with some magnificent saves while Harry and Christian Eriksen might have won it for us as we showed a willingness to get forward and cause problems for the hosts at every available opportunity.
