Danny Rose is grateful to Tottenham fans for their welcome last night at Real Madrid.

He played the final 10 minutes of Spurs' 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in his first game since damaging his knee in the 0-0 draw at Sunderland on January 31.

Rose had been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City after questioning the club's ambitions while sidelined.

Rose confirmed he was fined for what he said but declared: “My opinions will be voiced in a different way from now on. I've been disciplined and we move forward together as a club.

“I did what I did. I was expecting a frosty reception from the fans so I just have to say thank you to them for giving me a great reception when I came on and when I was training on the pitch after the game.

“I'm trying to look forward now for the rest of the season. First and foremost I have to try to win my shirt back. [What I said has] gone now, my manager [Mauricio Pochettino] has forgotten about it and we all move forward and we try to win this club a trophy."
