Borussia Dortmund vs Tottenham

 

Tottenham take a three goal cushion into the match at the Signal Iduna Park after a spectacular second half performance at Wembley saw them win 3-0 in the first leg.

 

They make just three changes from the north London derby side as Harry Winks, Serge Aurier and Ben Davies come in for Kieran Trippier, Victor Wanyama and Danny Rose.

Score a goal or avoid conceding three and Spurs will make it to the last eight of the Champions League.

Real Madrid vs Ajax

 

Real Madrid clinched a victory over Ajax in the first leg and more crucially two away goals. 

 

But there is some hope for the visitors to the Bernabeu, as Gareth Bale starts on the bench.

Borussia Dortmund vs Tottenham

 

A three goal cushion is enough to make Tottenham complacent in this game but travelling to Dortmund is a totally different beast.

 

Not only have the Bundesliga leaders put out an attacking team they have the Yellow Wall, that stands at 131 feet high and is the biggest stand in Europe.

 

It holds just under 25,000 fans and the noise it creates during the match can be very intimidating indeed.

Real Madrid vs Ajax

Santiago Solari makes two changes to the Real Madrid side defeated by Barcelona in the El Classico at the weekend.

Gareth Bale drops to the bench and Sergio Ramos is suspended "for clearly receiving a yellow card on purpose" in the first leg against Ajax,

Nacho and Lucas Vazquez start.

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag fields the same XI that started his side's first-leg of this last-16 tie.

That means former Southampton man Dusan Tadic leads the attack as Ajax look to turn things around.

It's a tough ask as it has been 22 years since Ajax progressed through a Champions League knockout stage tie - when they beat Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid or Tottenham?

 

Rumours abound about Gareth Bale's future after the Madrid superstar was jeered at from his own fans when he was substituted after 61 minutes in El Clasico. 

 

Since then his agent has come out and labelled the treatment of Bale as "nothing short of a disgrace."

"This generation of Real fans will be talking about Gareth's goals for years to come," said the 29-year-old's representative, Jonathan Barnett.

"They should be ashamed of themselves. Those fans should be kissing his feet."

Bale has since been linked with a return to Spurs in a straight swap deal that would see Christian Eriksen move over to the Bernabeu.

Tottenham hit a long ball forward towards Harry Kane from the kick off and win a throw in. They manage to hold onto the ball for a couple of minutes but lack any penetration in the final third. Dortmund win the ball and send Sancho down the right wing but Davinson Sanchez comes across and clears.

Dortmund win their first corner but Sissoko heads it away. Dortmund continue to press though and Sancho is allowed to put a cross into the box aiming for Alcacer but Alderweireld clears the danger.

He does it again. Jan Vertonghen steps up for Spurs and makes a last minute sliding tackle as Reus breaks into the box and looks to unleash a powerful shot that would certainly have sent the home side into the lead. 

 

Great work from the Tottenham man but Dortmund look really threatening.

15 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham

 

The first 15 minutes belong to Dortmund but the match remains goalless. Tottenham look very compact and are allowing Dortmund to run forward with the ball. 

 

Alcacer runs onto a ball that comes in over the top, he runs off the shoulder of Sanchez wins the ball and flicks it over the bar. A flag from the linesman signals that he was offside anyway.

18 mins: Real Madrid 0 - 2 Ajax - Neres (2-3 agg)

 

Dusan Tadic delivers another quality ball into the box for Ajax. It's David Neres who recieves it this time and his cool right footed shot from the six yard box sends Ajax in front.

 

Will history be made at the Bernabeu? Ajax have the lead and have eradicated the two away goals from Real Madrid.

Lloris makes a decent save as Marco Reus runs into space on the left side of the box. He takes a shot that gets deflected but Lloris is able to parry it up and then catch hold of the ball.

24 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham

 

Diallo guides himself and the ball into the penalty box from the left wing before pulling it back to an oncoming Mario Gotze. Gotze drills his shot first time but it is blocked. There's little for Tottenham's fans to cheer in terms of attack, not that they'd be heard as Dortmund's fans cheering are very, very loudly.

Dortmund quickly push the ball out to the right hand side as Sancho gives the ball to Wolf. Wolf tries to put a dangerous ball into the six-yard box but hits it too close to Lloris and the Tottenham goalkeeper claims the ball.

30 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham

 

Aurier limps off the pitch after a tough collision but he takes his time doing so. He comes back on to a chorus of boos from the Dortmund crowd, Tottenham lose the ball on the halfway line but win it back quickly and Kane plays Son in behind Wolf. As he reaches the 18-yard box he takes his shot with the outside of his right foot and sends it wide. Tottenham's best chance so far this half.
