"It's nice, the sensation, the feelings are mixed. We're out but one very good team on the pitch, one very good performance from the players and energy. It was really nice that the fans recognised that the team did everything they could do. They were with us from the start, and I thank them for that."
"It was a game of moments and we were close to going over the edge. We had a lot of situations in the first half and we could've gone to the break at 2-0. There are a lot of positives to take from tonight and we showed what we need to show every game. It's a good build-up into the next games and gives us a lot of confidence."
"We fought hard, a lot of duels won, ground duels, aerial duels, second balls. The team is in a better physical place and we kept running until the last second and we had the energy and freshness needed for upcoming matches."
Tottenham lost to Atletico Madrid 7-5 on aggregate in the Champions League round of 16, despite winning the second leg 3-2 at home. Manager Igor Tudor emphasizes the positive aspects of the second-leg performance, highlighting the team's effort and energy despite elimination. The club faces a crucial Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with Tottenham sitting just one point above the relegation zone. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario notes the team showed improved physical condition, winning duels and maintaining intensity throughout the match. Both Tudor and Vicario view the competitive display as confidence-building for upcoming fixtures despite the European disappointment.
