Harry Kane's first-half strike booked Tottenham a place in the Audi Cup final and piled the pressure on beleaguered Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.
Match Report
Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game as Tottenham beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the Audi Cup semi-finals on Tuesday.
The England striker took advantage of a mix-up in the Real defence to open the scoring after 22 minutes.
And despite several further opportunities to extend their lead, Spurs withstood some late Madrid pressure to take their place in Wednesday’s final against either hosts Bayern Munich or Fenerbahce.
Match Events
1' SAVE! Fine stop from Gazzaniga
18' Excellent save from Navas!
22' GOAL! Real Madrid 0-1 Tottenham (Kane)
Spurs deservedly lead after Marcelo stretches to keep in Hazard's stray pass on the left-hand touchline, but the left back only succeeds in playing Kane through on goal. And faced with just Navas to beat, the striker coolly chips the onrushing Real 'keeper.
39' CHANCE! Benzema's shot over the bar
58' CLOSE! Navas makes a great save
61' Unbelievable save from Navas!
75' OFFSIDE! Rodrygo scores but goal is disallowed

Not a real Madrid fan. But surely a la liga supporter . Am not criticising anyone but just pointing out the things I noticed in the game ... 1)NAVAS WAS the MVP of first half, he's playing on level real fans expect courtois to play, I think real Madrid can still be dependent on navas more than courtois 2) after last match, Marcelo finally showed some fighting spirit. he's fighting for the ball and putting efforts regardless of the goal he setted up for Kane. that was a mistake and can happen to any player. 3) Idk about kroos but midric needs to be on bench now ...Need of a better Midfielder. Someone more hungry in terms of goals and assists. After benzema if anyone made me mad it was modric. there's need of Gnabry or Pogba it Eriksen 4) pochitto's midfield is world class...lamela, son hueng min and ndombele...just wow.the level of understanding, the dribbling ...Kane is just a puppet who's taking the credit while real strings are them. 5) Hazard ..Ppl might say Hazard isn't performing up to expectations but reality is that He can't do much more... he's surrounded by BENZEMA every pass he plays , every assists he makes goes to waste and He's not assisted ever. Benzema is a lil selfish if I might say... he'll waste a chance rather than passing 6)Real always needed an excelent striker...They should had signed lewandowski back in 17-18 And they might had half of their problems sorted. Jovic... isn't bad... he's showing great potential but he's not prolific enough yet to deliver for Real..and benzema is just the worst Conclusion - Use casemiro as CDM - GET SOME midfielders possessing goal threat . - Believe in navas more than courtois -BENZEMA and MODRIC seriously needs replacement

Nobody: Real Madrid fans: The season hasn't started yet and we want it to end. Me: Real Madrid's midfielders and defenders are soo poor to the extent that even if we pay them 10 times their salary, it's still gonna be poor 😂😂😂

Lack of aggression . .. Real Madrid Was Best team once upon a time for their aggression . .. But now the way they are playing is really shameful . . And Marcelo, Varane and Ramos the way they are playing Is Very dangerous . .. if they can't recover their form then it's very dangerous . .. Marcelo was the best once but now he is getting old . .he can't play 90 minutes . .. so I think Mendy is better option for the starting 11 . .. And Please Use Bale and Jovic in starting lineup instead of Lucas Vascuez and Benzema .

If Madrid play Kubo and Hazard together, I see a very bright future for them up front but they need the strikers to step up. Jovic has to show the form he shown at Frankfurt....Madrid forward though isnt an issue. Clearly the defence is an issue. Even if Cristiano was there, he couldn't do anything cos fact is the problem is at the back, not the front. Front can be fixed easily but back is where they should have invested....

if not for navas and the post it would have been 5-0 what's going on Madrid? this is not the main team we all agree but 7 out of 11are permanent 11 players if they don't perform how can you expect a season to be successful, militao & casemiro will bring some strength, Bale & James will get some pace what Madrids lacking Mendy jovic should produce more , pogba should be signed , if Bale is staying give him a half cut pay contract , sign pogba if we don't sign pogba then I'm pretty sure Madrid will be eliminated group stages in champions league , la liga no hopes , Copa del Rey quarters, it would be a really bad season which would see zidane sacked

From what I saw today Zidane does not have a philosophy that suits this New Real Madrid,he came back with the philosophy that suits only the Ronaldo game of using the flanks

If u thk life is difficult, try be a madrid fun. We tot after completing 6 signings(Hazard, jovic, militao, kubo, mendy, rodrygo) , we will be better yet we are getting worse. First lost to bayern 3:1 Drew with arsenal academy team 2:2 den went to win dat match on penalties Then we lost massively to our local rival atlético 7:3 and the painful part is Costa alone scored 4 goals. And now we tot they will win this to console the fans yet another heartbreak 1:0 Please, u guys can't keep on like this else we nyt finish this season even more worse than last season. The major highlight from the match is madrid played like real Valladolid dat Navas had to save them from another shameful 6+ goals Yet still win, lose or draw, madrid till I die

Madrid spent €150m signing 19 year olds Kubo, Vinicius, Rodrygo, knowing that, they will require atleast 3-4 years to mature & develop into a world class player, are Madrid ready to give them playing time & suffer defeat, if not then without playing how will they mature ? What a pointless & thoughtless investment. Madrid are suffering because of Perez & his decision making.

madrid 2016 la liga winning squad was destroyed by perez and zidane, when it was right time to take off benzema and bale and bring new face as well as make morata and james in the main squad instead they sold those players and whole team flattered in la liga but though they won UCL, again when everyone expected big signing they shocked trade by selling spirit and soul of the team for last 10 years, ronaldo so now its tough to say how much progress this team could bring, i still believe this season will be obviously better can madrid could surpass 85-90 point with ease but main thing will be to dominate barva in w games which i dont feel is happening so lets watch and say what zidane means to team and his plan set

BREAKING: Navas broke his back from carrying Real Madrid.
He has been carrying Real since Ronaldo's last year or two but most of the credit goes to Ronaldo because keepers are least appreciated
