Champions league Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane wary of Tottenham striker

For once, Cristiano Ronaldo won’t go into his next match as the most prolific scorer. Harry Kane has five goals after two group matches in the Champions League. Ronaldo has four. They meet on Tuesday when defending champion Real Madrid hosts Tottenham in a matchup of Group H leaders. Kane has the respect of Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

"Things are going well for him. He is a complete player and he is always working to get to the goal," Zidane said. "He has great speed and is good finding emptying spaces. But we know that Tottenham is not only about Kane. We will be well prepared for this game."

Madrid and Tottenham are tied on points, and have the same number of goals scored and conceded. Borussia Dortmund and APOEL are yet to earn points after losing their first two matches.

"This is the first final in this group," Zidane said. "It’s going to be a good match for those who enjoy football. Hopefully we can come out on top." Madrid plays at Tottenham in the next round.

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas is expected to start for Madrid after recovering from a groin injury. Navas was hurt while playing for Costa Rica during the international break, but practiced normally with the rest of the Madrid squad this week without showing any problems.

MAN CITY VS NAPOLI
Something has to give when the formidable attacks of Manchester City and Napoli meet today. The Premier League and Serie A leaders have been dominant in domestic football, scoring freely. The only time either team has failed to win was when City drew with Everton back in August.

In Europe, however, it is City which possess the perfect record — having defeated Feyernood and Shakhtar Donetsk — while Napoli lost 2-1 when they travelled to Ukraine. And so the Italian club is under pressure to get a result when they travel to Manchester to take on City at the Etihad Stadium. City thrashed Stoke 7-2 in the Premier League on the weekend and that was without striker Sergio Aguero, who is likely to make his return from the rib injury he sustained in a car crash in Amsterdam last month.

City’s sometimes-shaky defense will be tested though, with Napoli scoring at least three goals in all seven of their Serie A games before a hard-fought 1-0 victory away to rival Roma on Saturday. Napoli have won 11 of 12 matches overall this season.
