Alli put Tottenham ahead from close range in the first half and the England midfielder doubled their lead with a fine solo effort after the interval. Real were unable or unwilling to match Tottenham's intensity and Zidane said: "In all aspects Tottenham were superior. In the build-up to the match, Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen had bragged he wouldn't swap Harry Kane for even Ronaldo. Kane buzzed around the Madrid defence with real menace and his driven pass to Kieran Trippier gave the right-back the chance for an audacious volley that flashed wide of the far post. But Real remained fatally flawed at the back and Alli took full advantage to double Tottenham's lead in sublime style in the 56th minute.
