Real Madrid's 3-1 loss to Tottenham at Wembley was its heaviest Champions League group-stage defeat in nine years.
Two goals from Dele Alli and a Christian Eriksen strike secured a famous win for Spurs and sent it into the knockout phase.
For the holder, it was its biggest defeat at this stage of the competition since a 2-0 loss to Juventus in November 2008.
It was also its first loss in the group stage since a 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in October 2012.
