The enigmatic Spurs, who are now also doing well in the Champions League without Harry Kane, thrashed the Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 at Wembley Stadium. After placing not a single goal in the first half, Spurs spotted three in the second as Son Heung-Min, Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente scored one each. At the same time, the defending champions Real Madrid won the crucial away challenge 2-1 against Ajax in the first leg of Champions League pre-quarters. Karim Benzema broke the deadlock in the 60th minute. The home side equalled things 15 minutes later. Hakim Ziyech added yet another important goal for the Dutch giants. However, in the end, substitute Marco Asensio contributed one goal and gave his side a 2-1 victory.
