Harry Kane-8

Tottenham’s best striker didn’t find the back of the net, but he did create a valuable assist for his club. Ultimately, Kane put pressure on Real Madrid for the entirety of his time on the pitch.

It was his work ethic that allowed Dele Alli to get so much space. More specifically, his hard running earned Spurs the throw that preceded their first goal. That’s just one of the things that makes Kane one of the best players in Europe. It wasn’t his best match in a Spurs kit, but it was plenty good enough to earn his side a massive three points.

Hugo Lloris-7

Lloris didn’t have any chance to stop Ronaldo’s goal. Otherwise, he didn’t have a ton to do. On the plus side, he did gut out the entire match after suffering some sort of leg injury.

Moussa Sissoko-6

Sissoko came on early in relief of Alderweireld, and didn’t do much of note. Depending on your point of view, that can be interpreted as a plus or minus for Spurs.

Mousa Dembele-6

I’m tempted to give Dembele higher marks for trying to break Sergio Ramos’ leg but that seems a bit mean. He does, however, deserve credit for helping to tilt the balance of power towards Spurs in the midfield.

Fernando Llorente-6.5

The talented Spaniard came on and did his job against the most talented squad of his native country. He did a good job holding the ball up and helped Spurs melt down the match.
