Dele Alli relives the glory days! Ex-Tottenham midfielder posts Instagram video honouring his 2017 brace against Real Madrid on famous Champions League breakout

<p>The attacking midfielder, who now plays for Como in Serie A, scored twice against the Champions League's most successful club at Wembley in the 2017-18 group stage, another marker in what was a stunning period of form for the club. He uploaded the highlights to his Instagram story to acknowledge one of the finest performances of his career.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Dele enjoyed a memorable few seasons at Spurs, scoring 67 goals in 269 appearances between 2015-22. His promising career fizzled out, however, when a combination of poor form and personal issues meant he was unable to sustain the same standards. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In 2023, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/dele-alli-molested-as-child-everton-midfielder-dealt-drugs-hung-off-bridge/blt6d3058cb97119b7c" target="_blank">Dele opened up to Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast</a>, revealing he had been sexually abused aged six and that he had admitted himself to rehab because of a sleeping pill addiction. He has since signed for Como, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tactical-yellow-dele-alli-red-card-como-debut-achieve-greatness-serie-a/bltd2190120f49bd456" target="_blank">for whom he was sent off on debut last month</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Dele has revealed he is still determined to get back to the top of the game and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dele-alli-2026-world-cup-premier-league-transfer-ambition-return-everton-training-free-agency/blt123d00a86c108658" target="_blank">has even set himself the target of reaching England's 2026 World Cup squad</a>. For now, he will be aiming to put together a consistent run of form in Italy's top flight.</p>
