Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday proved that Real Madrid are beatable irrespective of their line-up after stunning the Champions League holders 3-1.
England midfielder Alli scored twice, either side of halftime, and Christian Eriksen was also on target at a jubilant Wembley on Wednesday as Spurs claimed a famous win over the 12-time European champions.
It took Spurs into the last 16 with two games to spare and left Mauricio Pochettino's side three points clear of Madrid at the Group H summit.
"It was a fantastic display by us," Alli told BT Sport.
"We knew if we stuck to our game plan and were solid at the back then we'd get chances. We're very happy with the result.
"We don't want to just compete with these teams – we want to beat them. I'm happy to get two goals, but more importantly it was a win."
Spurs manager Pochettino echoed Alli's words and said the result would bolster the self-belief within his squad.
"I'm very proud of my players and I congratulate them. I'm so pleased for Dele and our fans," said the former Argentina defender.
"The victory is so important for us and the players. It's a win over Real so it's great for the club and fans.
"There's a long way to go until the end of the season. What's important is trying to achieve our challenge and target.
