1) His Spurs’ debut was against one of the biggest clubs on the planet
Dele Alli is no doubt a special talent, and he made everyone aware of that fact with his performance against Real Madrid. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has come to be known for promoting youth and he saw something special in Alli that made him give the youngster his debut after he reruned from loan.
Playing against lower division teams like Fleetwood town and then suddenly being thrust into a match against the best players in the world can be an intimidating experience but Alli didn't let the occasion overwhelm him
He showed the 70,000 fans in the Allianz arena during that friendly how good he can be by nutmegging Luka Modric, a player whose void Alli now fills.
