Tottenham Hotspur might be Champions League underdogs going into this quarter-final first leg clash but European manager Jose Mourinho battalion Real Madrid are positively showing signs of the jitters ahead of Tuesday night's clash.

On this Saturday night, when Real Madrid lost at home ground against Gijon with 0-1 goal score. A victory that made the eight point's difference between Real and Barcelona, which practically killed Madrid's chances for a title this year.

Spurs has kept two clean sheets in the last sixteen English Premier League matches this season away from home, before the match on Saturday night, which apparently shows defense problems. On away ground, Tottenham Hotspur has won six, drawn five and lost five matches. This ranks Spurs 3r d in away team performance in the English Premier League.
