Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris 'is one of the best in the world', claims Mauricio Pochettino after stunning save during draw with Real Madrid

Mauricio Pochettino believes Hugo Lloris proved himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world after his stunning save helped Tottenham earn a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.

All the attention in the build-up to the match was on Harry Kane and his battle with Cristiano Ronaldo, but it was Lloris who stole the show at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ronaldo had levelled from the penalty spot after Raphael Varane's own-goal had put Spurs in front before Lloris pulled off a series of brilliant stops in the second half.
