Cristiano Ronaldo grabs best seat in the plane as Real Madrid fly in to face Tottenham at Wembley in the Champions League… but did he pay the extra £21.50 for more legroom?

And the pair are seated by the emergency exit door meaning they get a few more inches of space to stretch out their legs - usually worth an extra £21.50 extra on EasyJet.
And captain Sergio Ramos also shared a photo on Instagram of him wheeling his suitcase down a ramp at Madrid airport.
His photo with him next to club ambassador Roberto Carlos carries the caption ‘Wembley, here we go.’
Legendary Brazilian Carlos also shared a picture from inside the plane, sitting next to former Real Madrid superstar Raul.
Victory at Wembley, on their first ever visit to the home of football, would guarantee their qualification from Group H.
Madrid are flying to London on the back of a disastrous start to the domestic season in Spain, which culminated in last weekend’s shock 2-1 defeat at Girona.






























Bale to miss Tottenham reunion, but Isco ready for Real Madrid

Bale to miss Tottenham reunion, but Isco ready for Real Madrid

The Wales international is back in training but is not yet fit enough to return to Zinedine Zidane's plans for the Champions League clash at Wembley
Gareth Bale will not be reunited with Tottenham in the Champions League after missing out on a place in Real Madrid’s travelling squad.
The Blancos have named a 19-man party for the midweek clash at Wembley Stadium.


Bale had been hoping to make the cut, allowing him to face his former club, but he has only been able to return to light training ahead of the contest.
Zinedine Zidane has been forced to overlook him as a result, but Isco does make the grade after shaking off a knock which kept him out of training on Monday.


Isco was seen limping down the tunnel following Real’s shock 2-1 defeat to Girona, but assured reporters after that contest that he would be ready for European action.
Zidane clearly believes that the Spain international is back to full health, but he has a number of other injury issues to contend with.
Keylor Navas, Raphael Varane, Dani Carvajal and Mateo Kovacic are all missing for Real as they prepare to take on Spurs.


The defending champions have also seen club talisman Cristiano Ronaldo hit an uncharacteristic slump which has seen the usually prolific Portuguese struggle for goals.
Zidane will be eager to see a man recently honoured with the FIFA Best Award get back on track in England, while offering him and his team a welcome boost amid a testing run and regular rounds of criticism.
Having swept to a La Liga and Champions League double last season, Real currently sit eight points adrift of arch-rivals Barcelona in the Spanish top-flight and were held 1-1 at home by Tottenham in their last continental outing.
