Dele is suspended!The Ramos v. Dele duel will be dirty and could land cards and kicks in both directions. Dele will dive and Ramos will ram into him. It's really a 50:50 situation, if it's for us we can squeeze a penalty

Shame. It could have been a great angle to sting them. I'm re-agitated at that dumb foul now.
I love Madrid, but also can despise them. They’ll do all they can to get a penalty or one our players carded.
However, this will be a great game. They haven’t been great this year, but you can never rule them out.

Isn't Dele still suspended?The Ramos v. Dele duel will be dirty and could land cards and kicks in both directions. Dele will dive and Ramos will ram into him. It's really a 50:50 situation, if it's for us we can squeeze a penalty
We are 7.8 in decimal odds (6.8/1 in fractional odds) to win this game. That equates to a 12.8% chance of winning. I can't remember the last time we were this highly priced. Possibly the last Madrid game, or maybe Dortmund in the EL? Or Man Utd away when Fergie was still there?
With all your police in Catalonia, it will be easy for us to "Koln" you.Madrid Fan here, been watching the EPL more and more over the past few years. Really love Pochettino work for Tottenham. Hoping we can have an attractive game on tuesday!
I'm 95% sure this will be our starting lineup.
Casilla or Keylor (If Healthy)
Nacho - Varane - Ramos - Marcelo
Modric - Casemiro - Kroos
Isco
Benzema - Ronaldo
I think odds are that high because we haven't lost a Group Stage game in over 5 years (October 2012). Currently an all time record of 29 unbeaten games (22 Wins, 7 Draws).
But at the end of the day this is football, any team can lose in any given day.
Good Luck and see you on tuesday!
Reasonable except sissoko has to come in for winks in midfield . This is about winning the midfield battle too, not getting into a goal scoring russian roulette battle with madrid which we will get destroyed in.
Last English team to beat Real in Madrid is apparently Liverpool during the 08-09 seasonHaven't been keeping track what's English clubs records against Real in Madrid?

That’s what I’d go with, assuming we are without Dembele, Wanyama, Davies & Rose.If Ben is still out... Seeing as a little extra steel is required anyway, how about:
Hugo
Dier / Toby / Sanchez
Aurier/ Sissoko / Winks / Jan
Son / Eriksen
Kane
.....?
Bench is wafer thin tho.
