US EditionAtletico punish Tottenham errors in 5-2 Champions League rout
- On Tuesday, Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor substituted Antonín Kinský after 17 minutes in the Champions League round-of-16 first leg at Atlético Madrid, replacing him with Guglielmo Vicario.
- The sequence of errors started with a miskicked clearance in the sixth minute by Tottenham goalkeeper Antonín Kinský, leading to Marcos Llorente's opener, and later, Kinský mis-hit a pass that Julián Álvarez converted to make it 3-0.
- It was the joint-earliest goalkeeper substitution in Champions League knockout-stage history, tied with Grégory Coupet after 17 minutes, while Antonín Kinský was making his first Champions League start since qualifying and Atlético added a fourth before Pedro Porro pulled one back to make it 4-1.
- Kinsky left the pitch in tears as Tottenham teammates and staff chased and consoled him, while Igor Tudor's early substitution intensified pressure with Tottenham one point above the relegation zone and nine games left.
- With just two wins in 14 matches in 2026, Tudor, appointed last month, faces increased pressure as the Champions League was a distraction until Tuesday.
