Real Madrid 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Hugo Lloris the hero as Spurs earn a point after Cristiano Ronaldo penalty cancels out Raphael Varane own goal

Forget Harry Kane for one moment. After this, the player Tottenham may have to keep out of the clutches of Real Madrid next summer is Hugo Lloris.

Their interest in David De Gea is long-standing, so we know they are in the market for a goalkeeper, and in front of a frequently unnerved Estadio Bernabeu, Lloris was quite outstanding. He made arguably the save of the season from Karim Benzema.

He made several other fine stops from Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo, and he held his nerve despite the frustrated whistles of the locals, taking time out of the game and allowing Maurico Pochettino’s team to earn an impressively gutsy point against the first back-to-back champions of the modern Champions League era.
