Tottenham Hotspur face Real Madrid on Tuesday 5th April 2011 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals. The second leg will be played at White Hart Lane on Wednesday 13th April 2011. The winners of the tie will meet the winners of Barcelona v Shakhtar Donetsk in the Semi-Final. In 1961, Bill Nicholson instigated Tottenham Hotspur's tradition of playing in an all-white kit for their European matches by telling his players "You look like Real Madrid - now go out there and play like them!" Spurs and Real Madrid have already met once before in the fourth round (Quarter Finals) of the UEFA Cup in season 1984-85. Tottenham lost 0-1 at home, which was their first defeat at the Lane in European football since 1961.

Beckham was never on the books for Tottenham. He was simply given some equipment and a place to train.
David Beckham was with Spurs as a schoolboy but preferred to join Manchester United instead. His recent loan deal from LA Galaxy was supposed to have included matches with Spurs but problems with his insurance cover limited his involvement to just training. Word has it that Beckham will be joining Spurs after his contract in California expries in November.
It's an inside joke concerning the final day of the season a few years ago when the Spurs team went down with food poisoning.
Got u however please if you find out where they are staying let me know my son is a huge fan and he would love to meet them
I'd be happy enough if Spurs got an away goal or two and finished the job next week at the Lane. 1-2 or 2-3 to Real Madrid tonight should be OK for us.
whenever barca come over , they stay at the hotel across the road from marylebone station. ive seen footage of them getting off their coach and going into the hotel several times when they have played in london. i dont know if this is the same one as real would stay at though, no reason why it would be. when they arrive next week, put some shots online of them getting into their hotel and someone might recognise it. come on spurs! real havent conceded a single goal in 4 matches at sb this season, but that spurs attack has goals in it. a patient performance like vs milan, or like liverpool and arsenal did in recent years oin madrid, might lead to a 1-0 win, but its long shot.
ugh. tottenham outclassed. tie over. most likely will be a spanish side v an english side at wembley.
you dont represent barca fans, they also cant stand you on the barca forums, and youve been banned from the english forums. hope you complete the collection and get a red card to go with your yellow very soon.
by your logic, what have your comments on my comments about the possible semis have to do with the game? red card asap.
I don't know who you are, nor do I know how you know me as a poster on this board. I just merely said schalke was not a team to overlook, and me having infractions have nothing to do with the champions league. Unfortunately crouch got sent off which robbed everyone of a competitive game, I'm not sure why you're trying to bait a flame war.
Playing Real Madrid away was never going to be a stroll in the park. We had already lost players like Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate, Alan Hutton, Younes Kaboul, Steven Pienaar and Wilson Palacios to injury before the game. Then we lost Aaron Lennon to illness as the players walked-out for the match. Harry then decided to play Gareth Bale and Luka Modric out of position to accomodate Jermaine Jenas (why?). We conceded a soft early goal then Peter Crouch got himself sent-off (no complaints - he was an idiot) within the first 15 minutes. The only surprise was that Spurs managed to keep the score down to 0-1 by half-time.
