There is nothing between Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur, with each having won their first two Group H games, scoring six goals and conceding one.
The victors at the Santiago Bernabéu will take a firm grip on the section, and Madrid have history on their side having won three of the previous four games between the clubs, drawing the other.
Tottenham have never scored against Madrid in 360 minutes of football.
Tottenham's first UEFA Champions League campaign, in 2010/11, was ended by Madrid. The Spanish side were 4-0 winners at home in the quarter-final first leg, thanks to goals from future Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor (4, 57), and one each from Ángel Di María (72) and Cristiano Ronaldo (87); Tottenham played the majority of the match with ten men after Peter Crouch collected a second yellow card in the 15th minute.
The teams at the Bernabéu on 5 April 2011 were:
Madrid: Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Marcelo, Alonso, Khedira (L Diarra 61), Di María (Kaká 77), Özil, Ronaldo, Adebayor (Higuaín 75).
