Real Madrid Vs. Tottenham Hotspur, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Gareth Bale Down With Injury?

Tottenham Hotspur have Heurelhio Gomes to thank for not having conceded a hattrick of headed goal to Adebayor - another chance for the Manchester City loanee was tipped deftly over the bar by the goalkeeper, who’s been worked extremely hard in the second half. Minutes later, Mesut Ozil wasted a massive opportunity to make it three himself when he found space inside the six yard box, received a pass, and then forgot to shoot entirely. Very odd decision by the German midfielder there - that would have put the game and the tie totally out of reach.

Meanwhile, Gareth Bale is down with what looks like a cramp - the Tottenham winger is down on the pitch clutching his right leg and hasn’t gotten up yet. Considering his lengthy injury history and recent back and hamstring problems, that’s probably not good news, and even if it is just a cramp Harry Redknapp will probably want to take him off the pitch immediately.
