Top spot in Group H is up for grabs as Tottenham travel to Real Madrid on Tuesday night. Mauricio Pochettino says his side will try to “dominate” the Liga giants in their own backyard. Will that backfire? Or will Spurs leave the Bernabeu with a famous victory? Here’s what the stats are suggesting.
Tottenham are winless against Real Madrid in European competition
Spurs have drawn three of their previous four encounters with Real Madrid, drawing the other. Most recently, the sides met in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2010/11: Peter Crouch’s early red card allowed Madrid and two-goal Emmanuel Adebayor to thrash Harry Redknapp’s side 4-0 at the Bernabeu; a Cristiano Ronaldo winner secured a 1-0 win in the second leg at White Hart Lane.
