#3 Harry Kane and Dele Alli are back

Pep Guardiola may have described Tottenham Hotspur as a Harry Kane team, but by that logic, Barcelona are a Lionel Messi team, and Real Madrid in Europe are a Cristiano Ronaldo team. The idea that Harry Kane is on their level seems ludicrous at best, but the stats show that the Englishman may very well be forcing plenty of people to eat their words soon enough.

The Spurs striker has it in him to torment Madrid's backline, as the amount of times he shoots, coupled with his conversion rate ought to ensure that the Wembley net will burst atleast once.

It helps that Kane's partner-in-crime Dele Alli also makes his return, as the youngster's high-pressing up the pitch could force Madrid into losing a couple of balls in midfield and could end up in a goal for Kane.

Real Madrid are well aware of the threat that the duo, in addition to Christian Eriksen, pose, but do not have the personnel to thwart them, which may necessitate a change in system.
