| A decent enough game, but not too much to get excited about. Spurs looked as though they didn’t want to risk too much so close to their first Premier League game, and played accordingly, without much intensity or pep, although Dele Alli did well. | A decent enough game, but not too much to get excited about.

| Real combined well for James’s opener, but Michel Vorm dropped a clanger for the second. They looked OK: still almost three weeks until they start against Sporting Gijon. Thanks for reading: see you later. | Real combined well for James’s opener, but Michel Vorm dropped a clanger for the second.

| Have we ever seen evidence of the ‘special relationship’ the Bale deal was supposed to provide for between Spurs and Real? If they take Varane off and insist Bale plays only with his right foot, we could consider it settled. Or not sell Benzema to Arsenal. | Have we ever seen evidence of the ‘special relationship’ the Bale deal was supposed to provide for between Spurs and Real?
