Well that brings an end to our live coverage from Wembley. What a night for Spurs.

We'll have all the reaction from this game and across Europe throughout the night. We're back with live coverage of the Europa League tomorrow, but until next time it's goodnight.

It will take time to quantify that result, but for now it sees Tottenham reach the knock-out stage and join the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG and Manchester City in the second phase.

Real Madrid meanwhile are in turmoil and tonight's display was perhaps one which must question their commitment to Zinedine Zidane. We will watch his future with some interest.

Full time: Tottenham 3-1 Real Madrid

What a night for Mauricio Pochettino and Spurs. They beat Real Madrid for the first time and take their place in the Champions League last 16. Dele Alli comes of age with two goals in either half, with Christian Eriksen netting the third. Ronaldo grabbed a late consolation but in truth, Madrid barely deserved it. They were woeful and have now won just two of their last five.

Mousa Dembele takes a huge chunk out of Sergio Ramos and gets just a yellow card. A tad fortunate there perhaps; Ramos was fuming.

Ronaldo has another go and Lloris makes a fairly easy save. Tottenham conceding plenty of possession to Madrid but they're looking good to see out the win.

Ronaldo pulls one back for Real Madrid.

Real putting lots of pressure on Tottenham now as the hosts drop deep. It ends with Casemiro's deflected shot being saved by Lloris.

GOAL! Tottenham 3-1 Real Madrid (Cristiano Ronaldo)

A lifeline for Real? Spurs don't clear Marcelo's bouncing cross and it falls to Ronaldo who makes no mistake from eight yards. Could that spark a comeback?

Harry Kane off and Fernando Llorente off. Started slowly but has improved throughout, ending in laying on the third goal.

And that should have been the fourth. Dele Alli heads wide from six yards out. Bad miss in the grand scheme of things, but he's done the business tonight.

Goal-scorer Christian Eriksen leads the celebrations as Tottenham make it 3-0.

Asensio and Moyoral on for Real Madrid. Three down with 16 minutes to go, it's a case of damage limitation for the visitors.

Zinedine Zidane looks a beaten man.

Dele Alli smashes Tottenham into a two-goal lead.

GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Real Madrid

The European champions cut apart. Dele Alli feeds Harry Kane, who lays the ball on perfectly for Eriksen who draws Casilla and calmly finds the net. Dreamland for Spurs.

A goal-mouth scramble to end all goal-mouth scrambles. No idea how Real Madrid have not pulled a goal back but between Ramos and Ronaldo the ball stays out.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Real Madrid (Dele Alli)

Spurs double their lead and I would like to say they are playing their best, but they're not really close. Dele Alli surges forward, more of less un-tracked and his shot takes a wicket deflection off Sergio Ramos and wrong-foots Casilla. Where the Real defence was, I have no idea.

And now Michel Vorm is warming up. Bad news for Tottenham.

Better from Madrid and Marcelo escapes down the left and his driven cross towards Ronaldo is palmed away by Lloris and Dier clears the danger.

Hugo Lloris now in the wars as he goes down after a collision during a free-kick, with what looks like a groin problem. We'll see how that develops.

Better from Harry Kane, who looked half fit in the first half, as he pick-pockets Marcelo and cross towards Eriksen, but Nacho gets the ball clear.

Back under way Wembley. Indeed there are no changes.

Players on their way out as the second half approaches. Ben Davies is back after picking up a calf problem, so looks like no changes.

Half time: Tottenham 1-0 Real Madrid

A fine 45 minutes, like it was for much of the game in Madrid, and once again Mauricio Pochettino's side have the lead. Dele Alli gave it to them on his European return and it could easily have been more after chances for Sissoko and Kane.

Real have been lacklustre but they are creating opportunities. Cristiano Ronaldo has been kept quiet for the most part.

Davies will limp on until half time you suspect. But Danny Rose is being prepared.

Hugo Lloris makes a good low save to keep out Benzema's first time shot from outside the box.

But a problem for Tottenham, as a second change looks imminent. Ben Davies is down.

Now Eriksen blocks a Ronaldo shot from close range after Benzema's driven centre. Chances aplenty.

Double chance for Spurs, and will they live to rue this missed opportunity?

Trippier gets away from Marcelo again and when Sissoko skews the pull-back it falls to Kane, but Casilla gets off his line and smothers the shot.

Big chance for Real Madrid as they continue to turn the screw. A flick on from Benzema after a Kroos free-kick comes all the way through to Ramos but he misses the target from six yards.

A handful of corners for Real Madrid now. The goal has really woken them up after a really poor start.

Ronaldo denied by Lloris. Achraf Hakimi pulls the ball back for Real's record scorer, but a low save sees it stay 1-0.

Dele Alli slides in to give Tottenham the lead.

Madrid almost level straight away as Casemiro shoots across the face of goal and as Lloris palms the ball out it needs a Tottenham defender to hack the ball clear.

Mauricio Pochettino will be thrilled with Tottenham's start.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Real Madrid (Dele Alli)

Spurs are rewarded for the intensity of their display with the opening goal. Again Trippier crosses on the volley and this time Alli gambles and on his return to the Champions League he slides in the opener. Wembley goes mad.

Problem for Spurs as Toby Alderweireld ghosts into the penalty area but his run is cut short as he pulls up with a hamstring injury. The Belgian is laid-out behind the goal and will play no further part tonight as he limps away. Moussa Sissoko comes on, with Eric Dier moving into the back three. Christian Eriksen may drop deeper too.

A tight opening to the game at Wembley.

Harry Winks takes a wild swing at the ball as Marcelo crosses the ball into his own box. The youngster totally miss-kicks but re-gathers the ball and goes to cross for Kane but Casilla intercepts. Real really slow to snuff out any Tottenham attacks.

Goodness me Tottenham go within inches of the lead. Trippier drives a volleyed cross across the six-yard area which is turned away by Casilla and just evades Dele Alli in the middle.

Spurs have started really brightly here and Harry Kane has his first effort on goal.nacho diverts an Eriksen through ball but it only allows Kane to escape Ramos' attention but the England forward's attempt to chip Casilla sees the ball clutches by the Real 'keeper.

Now Ramos clears as Eriksen gets in, but the Dane's first touch takes him away from goal. Tottenham have begun with no fear at Wembley.

Ramos cuts out Eriksen's threaded pass in towards Kane. Both teams have started on the front-foot.

No doubt that Harry Kane is not moving fluidly at all in these opening minutes. How much of a risk is Mauricio Pochettino taking tonight?

Half a chance for Real Madrid inside six minutes. Sergio Ramos gets the jump on Sanches but he can't test Lloris, heading over from Modric's corner.

Teams out and we're ready to go at Wembley. Quite an evening ahead, you feel.

Five minutes until kick-off. Rod Stewart is in the house, having presumably watched his beloved Celtic crash out last night.

England managers present and past in attendance too with Gareth Southgate and Roy Hodgson both watching tonight. Hodgson's Palace face Spurs at the weekend.

Back for Tottenham tonight; can Harry Kane provide the winning touch?

One man who is not at Wembley tonight, missing the visit to his former club....

All eyes on Cristiano Ronald tonight.

Real Madrid are not at crisis point but the Spanish and European champions are having a rocky start to the campaign.

They already trail Barcelona by eight points in La Liga - the first El Clasico in on 23 December - and have only won two of the last four in all competitions. Cristiano Ronaldo has just seven goals this season, a small tally by his standards, and his problems are central to Los Blancos' plight.

But wouldn't it be typical of them to turn it around tonight? Last time they were on British shores they were crowned 12-time European champions.

Dele Alli is back from his European suspension for Tottenham, and he is thrilled to be available again. He was sent off in the Europa League last season you may remember, and given a three-game ban.

If you want to keep abreast of Manchester City and Liverpool's fortunes tonight - they play Napoli and Maribor respectively - then head this way to our other live blog where we'll also have all the other goals from the Champions League tonight.

So how might Tottenham approach the game tonight?

They operated very much on the break two weeks ago, but without the likes of Sissoko, Son and Rose in the team Pochettino looks like he wants more control in midfield. Trippier and Davies will be instructed to provide width.

Great news that Harry Kane is recalled today. Not just because the chance to watch one of Europe's best strikers is always a joy, but it means we could have a real game on our hands. Real Madrid will have been hoping for a change in his fitness.

Three changes for Tottenham in what looks like a defensive line up from Mauricio Pochettino.

In come Harry Kane, Davinson Sanches and Kieran Trippier. Out go Moussa Sissoko, Son Heung-Min and Serge Aurier.

BREAKING NEWS

Harry Kane returns for Tottenham. Full team below.

Spurs have arrived at Wembley. Now where is that team?

One change for the 12-time winners: the injured Raphael Varane is replaced by Nacho. Isco makes the team despite an injury concern. Kiko Casilla continues in goal.

The Real Madrid team has dropped just in time.....

Real Madrid are preparing for their first ever game at Wembley.

Team news on its way shortly, but how might both sides line up?

Tottenham hope to have Harry Kane back from a hamstring injury. Danny Rose is unlikely to be risked, and Erik Lamela remains out. Victor Wanyama is a long-term absentee.

Real Madrid are without Gareth Bale, Keylor Navas, Dani Carvajal or Raphael Varane. Isco has travelled but is considered a doubt.

Bonfire Night might not be for another couple of days but expect plenty of fireworks at Wembley tonight as two of the most explosive sides in Europe go head-to-head again.

Tottenham and Real Madrid played out an engaging Champions League draw two weeks ago but now they go to battle in London. The defending champions are licking their wounds after an embarrassing defeat to Girona at the weekend, with Zinedine Zidane doing his best to play down a potential crisis.

The hosts meanwhile are expected to welcome back Harry Kane and though they have lost two in a row, Spurs have good reason to believe they can match the Spanish champions tonight. Wembley is far from the bogey ground for Mauricio Pochettino's men that it was earlier in the season.

All the team news and build-up ahead of the tie of the night in Europe on the way ahead of the 7:45pm kick-off.
