Tottenham Defeats Real Madrid in Controversial Champions League Match
This Wednesday, all eyes in the football world were focused on Wembley Stadium. In the iconic English venue, Real Madrid and Tottenham faced off in the fourth match of Group H in the Champions League. The home team took the lead controversially through Dele Alli.
The English forward put 'Spurs' ahead in the 27th minute. All of Mauricio Pochettino's men celebrated the advantage, although it should have been invalidated by the referee Cüneyt Çakir. Why?
Kieran Trippier, who assisted Dele Alli against Real Madrid, was in an offside position. However, nobody in the Casa Blanca protested and they found themselves at a disadvantage before the 30th minute.
Before the end of the first half, Karim Benzema had a clear chance to equalize. His shot went straight into the hands of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. That's how they went into halftime.
