In March 1985 Spurs lost to Real 0-1 in the UEFA Cup 4th Round 1st leg at home (40,000) and in the return two weeks later there was a 0-0 draw (95,000).
Team: Clemence, Hughton, Miller, Roberts, Thomas, Perryman, Galvin, Hazard, Hoddle,Crooks, Falco. Subs: Ally Dick, Gareth Brooke. (Stevens and Chiedozie played in the first leg)
In April 2011 Real beat Tottenham 4-0 in the Champions League and 8 days later the two teams played out a 0-1 defeat for Spurs at White Hart Lane.
Both teams should qualify after tonight's match with Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia in 3rd and 4th.
Real are smarting from their 2-1 defeat by Girona in the Spanish League at the weekend, so there should be a reaction. Real are unbeaten against Spurs in European competition and are unbeaten in their last 30 Champions League games, winning 22 and drawing 8 ties. Their last defeat was in October 2012 v Borussia Dortmund. They have failed to score only once in the club's last 53 ties and that was in October 2015 drawing with PSG 0-0.
Spurs have won their last two Champions League games! and have never won at home against a Spanish club in European competition (drawn 2 and lost 3).
I do remember Spurs winning the European Cup Winners Cup against Athletico Madrid, the Mattress Men, in May 1963 in Rotterdam......here it proof. (you must watch this for the penalty, no sending off? and the Spurs' third goal, Greaves in the 6 yard box, Terry Dyson's strike...)

Spurs team: Brown, Baker, Henry, Blanchflower, Norman, Marchi, Jones, White, Smith, Greaves, Dyson.
Ronaldo has scored in each of his previous Champions league games v Spurs and he and Harry Kane lead the CL score total with 5 each. Harry may be back! Gareth Bale will not be on the pitch-shame!
Bahaltin Duran, Tarik Ongun and Mustafa Eyisoy, a commentator's nightmare.
