Are we on the road to greater things now?

Spurs v Real Madrid, Wembley, 7.45 pm. Tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night we face Real Madrid for the second time in this competition. The first we got a good draw, after going one nil up. We did ourselves proud. This time around Spurs or even Real Madrid could go through with a win. If either fail then they will need three points out of the next two games. But let us think positive and say we will win. We must win.

Our last two games were a disappointment (West Ham 2-3 and United 1-0) so we need to get back out there and show everybody that what happened was just a blip. I shall put my head on the block

MATCH FACTS

• Real are unbeaten against Spurs in European competition. They have faced each other five times previously, with Real winning three of them.
• Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 30 Champions League group games (W22 D8) - their last defeat was in October 2012 away against Borussia Dortmund.
• They have failed to score only once in their last 53 Champions League group games (0-0 at Paris St-Germain, October 2015).
• Having previously gone four home Champions League games without a win (D1 L3), Spurs have won their last two.
• Tottenham Hotspur have never won at home in European competition against Spanish opposition (D2 L3).
• No other team has registered more attempts on the counter-attack than Spurs this season in the Champions League (5 - fast break); scoring with one of those efforts.
• Each of the 27 times English clubs have had seven or more points after three Champions League match days they have progressed to the last 16 (since the current format was introduced in 2003-04).
• Cristiano Ronaldo has scored once in each of his three previous Champions League games against Tottenham.
• Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo have both scored more goals than anyone else in the competition this season (five).

That is that and all is left for me to say, I hope the team, club and supporters does us all proud. We are Spurs and we can do anything.
