How low will the winners go

From the start, the year of Real Madrid was bad in all fairness. Everything began with the transfer, of course, of Cristiano Ronaldo. Los Blancos' arrogance of believing hey might easily replace CR7 bared little validity. However, matters took a terrible turn against Ajax.

Ajax Amsterdam overcame the first leg deficit. They dismantled Real bit by bit. It finished an astounding 1-4 . Real are starring down the barrel in their worst period in years and are out from all competitions.

Tottenham set blind optimism aside

Tottenham is your soccer geeks' favourite team for obvious reasons. They favor great scouting over budgets. They encourage potential. They like consistency over short-term gain.

But, now with Harry Kane back from injury, a few things are shifting. Spurs are learning how to be effective. It is what Dortmund discovered at their cost once Spurs went 1-0 up.

The remainder of the game had the London side sitting biding their time. Having an injury-free squad prepared for UEL's next period, it is anybody's guess where Pochettino's side may stop.

For now, all ye dream soccer devotees, be certain that you create your draft and then take a number of these XFC off FootballCoin's hands
