Sport Witness could spend the whole of Thursday covering Spanish reports on how wonderful Tottenham Hotspur are as a team and how terrible Real Madrid have become overnight, but one from AS signals the Spurs superiority on Wednesday evening.
The Spanish newspaper highlight Tottenham fans shouting ‘Olé’ at Wembley as the home team were much the better side despite facing double Champions League winners.
Usually such mockery from fans towards Real Madrid would bring anger, or a reversal of the situation with Sergio Ramos scoring two headers in the last minute to shut everyone up, but now it’s just accepted as an example of how much better Spurs were.
Not only that, AS explain for a Spanish audience that the home broadcaster repeatedly picked out a young Real Madrid fan at Wembley in a ‘sea of tears’.
Faced with a ‘Madrid of Halloween’ it’s pointed out that former Tottenham, and, painfully for Madrid, former Barcelona striker Gary Lineker had the last word, for now, in his Benzema spat.
Lineker’s crticism of the Real Madrid striker has made big news in Madrid for weeks, with many very unhappy and waiting for the English pundit to be to look a fool. Quite the reverse happened, and that hurts.
“Olé, olé, olé…!” – Tottenham struck a nerve.
