Tottenham star Christian Eriksen relishing challenge of facing Real Madrid at Bernabeu: 'I don't think we should be scared of anything'

Christian Eriksen insists Tottenham have nothing to fear when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Eriksen scored the winner in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth and now he and Spurs face perhaps the most daunting challenge in club football - a showdown with the European champions in the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Dane knows what it feels like to go up against Madrid, having played Los Blancos twice with Ajax during the Champions League group stage in 2012.

Ajax, with Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld also in their starting line-up, lost both ties 4-1 but Eriksen believes five years on, Spurs are well-equipped to do better.
