Real Madrid put to the sword

Tottenham Hotspur totally outclassed the European Champions and inflicted Real Madrid's first group -stage loss in five years.  It was not for nothing that Group H was dubbed the ''group of death.''  

Notwithstanding however, Spurs qualify for the knock-out stage with two games to spare leaving others in the group - Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia - in their trail.

For the first time, Spurs looked particularly at home and their fans created a pulsating atmosphere.  It is also important to add that every one of Pochettino's players rose to a very special occasion.

At times, Tottenham's players looked like they had re-invented the sport.  This was a delicious, decisive victory against one of the best club sides in the history of football.  This was a special, spine-tingling performance from Spurs.  It was a breathless, lung busting performance that squeezed the pips out of a group of players with Real Madrid's pedigree. 

Dele Alli made Real look like old men.  His humiliation of Casemiro, leaving the midfielder floundering on the edge of the penalty area on the way to scoring the second, was simply mesmerising.

Spurs were at their magnificent, outrageous best.

Tottenham have beaten the European Champions 3-1.
