The big question for any team that plays Real these days is, how do we stop Modric and Kroos? It was once Xavi, Iniesta & Busquets but now, no team in Europe possesses a midfield as lethal as Real Madrid's.

Casemiro sits deep and runs things from the midfield. Kroos has been their pass master and rarely misplaces one. Luka Modric was the best midfielder across Europe last season.

It will be a tough job for Harry Kane & Co. to break their rhythm. Pochettino may have to think of a way to break their resilience. Serge Aurier and Ben Davies will find it hard to run past Real's midfield while Eriksen and Kane will not be given any amount of space in the midfield.
