Spurs keeper Antonin Kinsky is consoled by Pedro Porro as he is substituted after only 17 minutes following two calamitous errors against Atletico Madrid. At a glance Spurs keeper Antonin Kinsky substituted after only 17 minutes after two slips gifted goals to Marcos Llorente and Julian Alvarez. Micky van de Ven also lost his footing to present a goal to Antoine Griezmann. Robin Le Normand added a fourth before Pedro Porro pulled one back for Spurs. Alvarez added his second after 55 minutes following a stunning counter attack, with Dominic Solanke also on target for Spurs. Tottenham Hotspur's calamitous season hit a desperate new low as goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was taken off after only 17 minutes in a humbling Champions League capitulation at Atletico Madrid. Kinsky, in for Guglielmo Vicario, twice lost his footing to gift goals to Marcos Llorente and Julian Alvarez – after which he was taken off by interim head coach Igor Tudor. In between, Micky van de Ven also slipped to allow Antoine Griezmann to score before Robin le Normand added a fourth after only 23 minutes of some of the most remarkable Champions League action of recent times. Pedro Porro's goal was only an interruption to Spurs' misery, Alvarez adding his second 10 minutes after the break with a lightning counter following Jan Oblak's stunning save from Richarlison. Tudor will now faces more questions about his future after a fourth-successive loss as the Croatian fails to arrest this rapid descent into crisis. Kinsky's hopes of staking a claim ahead of Vicario were shattered after only six minutes when he slipped, sending the ball straight Ademola Lookman, who found Llorente for a composed finish. It was the start of a mind-blowing passage of play which was embarrassing even in this shocking season for Spurs. Van de Ven was next to lose his footing to present Griezmann with a second before the hapless Kinsky fell to the floor once more when attempting to clear, allowing Alvarez to walk the ball in. Tudor had seen enough, putting Kinsky out of his misery sending on Vicario, the 22-year-old Czech being consoled by team-mates, even receiving sympathetic applause from Atletico fans. The agony was not over for Spurs as Le Normand added a fourth after 22 minutes following a scramble before Porro pulled one back with a low finish. Atletico keeper Jan Oblak also suffered his own nightmare with clearance, sending one straight to Dominic Solanke to score again for Spurs. Rate players out of 10 for this game.

Tottenham Hotspur have faced Atlético Madrid just once before in European competition, beating them in the 1963 Cup Winners' Cup final 5-1. Atlético Madrid have progressed from two of their three previous UEFA Champions League last 16 ties against English clubs, beating Liverpool in 2019-20 and Manchester United in 2021-22, losing the other to Chelsea in 2020-21. Tottenham have only lost one of their last five UEFA Champions League meetings with Spanish opponents (W2 D2), a 2-4 home defeat to Barcelona in the 2018-19 group stage. Atlético Madrid have never lost a UEFA Champions League knockout stage game under Diego Simeone at either their former home, the Vicente Calderón (W7 D4), or their current home, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano (W6 D2). Tottenham have won their last three UEFA Champions League games without conceding a goal (v Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt). They have never previously won four consecutive matches in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, nor have they kept four straight clean sheets before. This will be Tottenham boss Igor Tudor’s first game as a manager in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, while he has won just two of nine matches in the competition overall (D2 L5). His most recent game in the competition was a defeat in the Spanish capital, losing 0-1 at Real Madrid in charge of Juventus this season (October 2025). Ademola Lookman has had a hand in 16 goals in his last 21 appearances in major European competition (12 goals, 4 assists), while he scored in his only start in the UEFA Champions League to date for current club Atlético Madrid (v Club Brugge in the previous round). Randal Kolo Muani has been directly involved in five goals in seven games for Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League this season (3 goals, 2 assists), already his most in a single edition. Indeed, only two players have netted more than three goals in their first Champions League campaign as a Spurs player: Gareth Bale and Peter Crouch (both 4 in 2010-11). Along with leading his team for goal involvements (7 – 5 goals, 2 assists), Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez has averaged 71. 1 high-intensity pressures per 90 in the UEFA Champions League; the highest average of any player remaining in the 2025-26 tournament (min. 300 minutes played).
