Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Luka Modric… check out our Tottenham-Real Madrid combined XI

TOTTENHAM welcome Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid to the Wembley turf on Wednesday night in their Champions League showdown.

The duo went head-to-head last month, as Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs battled to a solid 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.

But now, the Spanish giants are in England looking to get one over their Group H rivals.

Both clubs sit level top of the group, with seven points - boasting identical goal difference and having scored the same number of goals.

With that in mind, the game in North London is set to be a monumental affair, with the winners taking a huge step towards winning the group.

Ahead of the massive clash, check out which stars make it into our Tottenham-Real Madrid combined XI...

ONE of the more simple decisions in our combined XI came between the sticks.

While Madrid have a pair of solid options in goal, with Kiko Casilla and Keylor Navas on the books, there's no doubting Lloris is the better of the 'keepers.

The Frenchman is amongst the best in the world... and will need to be to keep out Los Blancos on Wednesday night.

DEFENCE

Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo

WHILE the attackers on show at Wembley on Wednesday night are set to steal the show, don't forget about the strength of each club's defence.

After all, with attack-minded full-backs such as Aurier and Marcelo on display, it could be a pulsating night of action down the flanks.

Meanwhile, with the experience and world-class ability of Alderweireld and Ramos in the heart of the defence, this combined back-four rivals the best on the planet.

MIDFIELD

Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Luka Modric

SPEAKING of best on the planet, you simply can't split up this midfield trio.

The holding midfield ability of Casemiro, blended with the attacking, creative intent of Modric - a former Spurs man himself - and Kroos is utterly unparalleled.

There's not room for a Tottenham man here...

ATTACK

Isco, Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo

NOW here's where things start to get really difficult.

Despite his La Liga woes, Ronaldo has been in hot form in Europe, so is a no-brainer to make the XI... as is the on-fire Kane.

However, the final forward spot could have gone to Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli or Isco - with the Spaniard marginally getting the nod this time around.
