Have a loss-proof bet on a Tottenham win
Tottenham's chances of upsetting Real Madrid at the Bernabeu were jeopardised before they had even landed in Spain by a dreadful run of five games without a victory and three without a goal but a humiliating 4-0 first-leg loss appears to have snapped them out of their malaise.
They responded well to arguably the most dispiriting result of their campaign by beating Stoke 3-2 at White Hart Lane on Saturday and now, cast in a role where they have nothing to lose in the return leg, they are considered to have a fair chance of exiting the Champions League with a win at [2.78].

The Lilywhites haven't suffered a 90-minute defeat in front of their fans in 19 fixtures since August and have won four and drawn one of their five in Europe this season, conceding just two goals in the process, which tempt the more optimistic Spurs supporters to back them to triumph to nil at [5.9].
Real Madrid are unbeaten in continental competition under Jose Mourinho, though they have previous when it comes to losing the second leg of a tie that they boast a comfortable lead in under the Special One having followed an 8-0 Copa del Rey thumping of Levante with a 2-0 reverse away.
It has also been suggested that with five of their players a booking away from suspension, including Sergio Ramos, Angel Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo, the nine-time tournament winners will think about resting a few of them rather than risk being without them in the semi-finals against Barcelona.
