Champions League QF: Real Madrid vs Tottenham Preview (2nd Leg)

Real Madrid vs Tottenham (2nd Leg)
April 14 @


With a 4-point goal advanatge, it would seem that Real Madrid will most likely be advancing to the semi-finals, a first in eight years. 

There’s isn’t much to say about this match, as like the Barca vs Tottenham game, this also seems like a formality, unless of course Tottenham pulls off a miracle.  Real must be very comfortable with their lead that coach Jose Mourinho can afford to have two of his key players Sergio Ramos and Angel Di Maria miss the match to avoid picking up a 2nd yellow card (and subsequently miss the next match).

They are seriously on the path of trying to reclaim the Champions League title they have won 9 times.  But they will have to go thru Barca first.


Aggregate Score:
Tottenham: 0

For the win:
Real Madrid:
Same as Barca, they almost have this in the bag and most likely advancing to the semis.  a draw and even letting Tottenham score a few goals (but no more than 5 goals to Real’s goals) can get them to the semis

Tottenham:
They need to score 5 more goals than Real Madrid in order to advance to the semis

Stadium: White Hart Lane (Tottenham‘s home turf)

Here's my attempt in being an “expert”... Below are score combinations showing which team can quailify to the next round.


Highlighted in yellow means that that team will will proceed to the Quarter finals.  Pink means the aggregate score as well as the number of away goals is a tie, so I dunno if they'll do extra time, shoot out or coin toss...
