Tottenham Hotspur are starting to hit the ground running with consecutive wins in their last three matches in the Premier League and are looking forward to continuing their run in-form in the future. They have also won their first two matches in the Champions League this season, dishing out dominating performances against Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia.
They are now bracing themselves for a stern test against the reigning champions Real Madrid in their next match. The North London club are looking forward to a competitive matchup on Wednesday and wil look to clinch some valuable points from their trip to Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, did not have a great start to the season in the La Liga and dished out a number of dismal performances, including an unexpected defeat at the hands of Real Betis.
However, their form in the Champions League has been superb since the very first match and Los Blancos have won both their encounters against Apoel Nicosia and Borussia Dortmund to place themselves at the top of the table. They will be looking to go in with the same vigour when they face Tottenham in their own backyard and notch up another win.
