Champions League: Real Madrid 4-0 Tottenham

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

Tottenham Hotspur slipped to a crushing 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, all but ending their Champions League dream.

Spurs found themselves behind after just five minutes when Emmanuel Adebayor was left all alone at a corner and guided a header past goalkeeper Gomes and through the legs of Luka Modrić on the line.

Things got worse for the visitors as Peter Crouch was shown a red card after picking up two yellow cards inside the opening 15 minutes.

Spurs held on manfully for the remainder of the first half, but saw Real double their lead on 57 minutes as Adebayor grabbed his second after angling a header past Gomes from Marcelo's cross.

Ángel di María then made it 3-0 in the 72nd as he cut inside Benoît Assou-Ekotto before unleashing a beautiful 20-yard curler beyond Gomes into the top corner.

There was still time for more, though, and Cristiano Ronaldo got the goal his performance deserved, rifling a 20-yard volley past Gomes from Kaká's cross.
