Real Madrid's pre-season woes continued on Tuesday as Tottenham defeated Zinedine Zidane's men 1-0 in the Audi Cup semi-final at the Allianz Arena thanks to Harry Kane's solitary strike.
Spurs were the sharper team throughout, demonstrating higher fitness levels and more cohesive pressing from the start before edging ahead on the scoresheet.
Their breakthrough came, however, courtesy of a calamitous defensive error from Real, with Kane squeezing the ball past Keylor Navas after Marcelo played the striker through on goal in an attempt to keep Eden Hazard's misplaced pass in play.
Real Madrid had their share of the chances - most notably with a Rodrygo goal disallowed for offside - but they were second best and have much to improve on heading into the new La Liga season.
