Tottenham player ratings v Real Madrid: Regular starter completely invisible – must be questioned
Jan Vertonghen – 7
Another top class performance from one of Tottenham’s key players.
His presence in defence is a blessing to Mauricio Pochettino, as the manager knows week in, week out, he will see his side marshalled to within an inch of their lives.
He is a true leader at the back, and along with Lloris, ensures that they are tight, compact and as difficult to break down as possible.
However, he loses a mark for some awful play acting which got Cristiano Ronaldo booked.
Despite the size of the Belgian, he fell like a sack of potatoes in an embarrassing show of unsportsmanlike behaviour after what was no more than a slight brush of his hair by the Portuguese winger.
