Dele Alli-9.5

It’s safe to say that Dele really missed Champions League football. He was scintillating in his first opportunity to play on Europe’s biggest stage this season. The only blemish on his performance was failing to secure a hat trick via a free header in the second half.

Otherwise he was simply spectacular. He ripped Real Madrid apart for Tottenham’s first two goals and kept Zidane’s defence off-balance for the entire match. It’s safe to say that Sergio Ramos won’t want to see Dele anytime soon.

Christian Eriksen-8

Lost a little bit in Dele’s blaze of glory was a really good performance from Eriksen. He wasn’t his squad’s most dangerous player going forward, but he kept popping up in dangerous places on the field.

He also was cool as can be when he slotted home Tottenham’s third goal. It turned out that Spurs didn’t necessarily need that goal, but it made things a lot more comfortable. Eriksen bounced back very nicely from a very weak outing against Manchester United last weekend.
