Football. ua represents the announcement of the match of the fourth round of the group round of the Champions League between Tottenham and Real Madrid.
Two weeks ago, the teams could not determine the winner at the Bernabeu, and today the one who can earn three points, guarantees himself a place in the playoffs.
Tottenham - Real Madrid Wednesday, 21:45, London, Wembley. Arbitrator of the meeting - Djunayt Chakyr (Turkey) Tentative formulations:.
Tottenham: Lloris - Orie, Sanchez, Alderveyreld, Vertonghen, Davis - Eriksen, Winks, Dembele - Allie - Kane Real: Casillia - Hakimi, Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo - Kroos, Kazmiro, Modric - Isco - Benzema, Ronaldo Will not play: Wanyama , Lamela - Bale, Vallejo, Navas, Kovacic, Varan, Carvajal.
Scorers: Kane, 13 - Ronaldo, 6 In the first meeting of these teams Tottenham proved its strength in the European arena - the "spurs" got an honorable draw on Santiago Bernabeu - 1: 1. Since then, the teams played 3 matches on the home arena and left a double impression in them.
Tottenham Hotspur played very well at Wembley with Liverpool - despite the strength of the opponent, Mauricio Pochettino's team shone and did not leave the guests the slightest chance of success. In the League Cup, Tottenham were leading 2-0 against West Ham, but managed to lose 2: 3. However, we will not pay special attention to the tournament, which in England is treated without much piety - the flight will soon benefit the "spurs". And the most recent match is a confrontation with Manchester United in the 10th round. Team Pochettino looked good in the first half (although not particularly worried about David De Gea), but in the second part of the meeting, MJ just crushed the "spurs", although the match ended for Londoners only 0: 1.
Real Madrid at the not best game took over Abar - 3: 0, then obtained the duty victory over Fuenlabada in the Cup of Spain (2: 0), but on weekends there was a thunder in the kingdom of Madrid. Rather, in Catalonia, where the rookie Examples Girona beat the "creamy" with a score of 2: 1. Zinedine Zidane, of course, is brave and says that nothing terrible has happened, that the team is in a good mood, but is it really going to be painless for Real Madrid? Let's see ... Fortunately, recovered and ready to play Tottenham head scorer Harry Kane - the Englishman before the injury was just in a crazy form, giving away goals just packs. Of course, this could not go unnoticed, and on the eve of the first meeting, the Spanish edition of Don Balon (although, it is recognized, it is characterized by very questionable publications) has spread the information that the next club Harry can become just Real Madrid. Allegedly, Madrid are ready to pay for the Englishman about 200 million euros. Zinedine Zidane has already managed to disown from these rumors, and indeed, from everywhere in the club of Madrid, it is only heard that Karim Benzema is the best nine in the world. Someone may wonder how this is, given the low effectiveness of the Frenchman - what, turn on the TV today on the right channel - perhaps, Karim will explain everything to you.
Interesting Facts:.
- In the last three matches between teams, less than 2 goals were scored.
- Previous home for the "spurs" matches against Real Madrid ended with a victory of "creamy" 1: 0.
- Both teams do not lose in the Champions League in the last 4 matches.

The trainers say:.
Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham: "We need to prove that we are able to cope with the pressure at this level. We played with Real Madrid, Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester United. Each match was difficult, but nowhere we were clearly weaker than the opponent. It will be the same tomorrow.
It is absolutely impossible, playing every three days, to approach the matches relaxed and rested. But these are the realities of English football, and it's really difficult to play here. Every match is a great opportunity to prove yourself, to show everyone what you are worth.
Last season we unsuccessfully performed in the group stage, and everyone was very disappointed. Now everything is different ".
Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid: "We are fine. Perhaps someone thinks that after the defeat we have a bad mood, but it's not so. Physical state is also excellent, we are ready to hold a good match. Wembley - this is a stadium where you need to show amazing fights, that's what is expected of us. Not a bad scenario - to hold a good match against a worthy opponent. Players like these duels ".
forecast 2: 1.
