"We need to do our best in terms of what we need to grow. Our first aim is the Premier League; this should be said publicly, it's a normal thing. This [competition] is something extra, but that doesn't mean we don't want to pass (through), that we don't want to go to the next round."
"[We must] focus on us, we're playing against a team that has a story in this Champions League, they have experience, they have quality. This [competition] is something extra, but that doesn't mean we don't want to pass (through), that we don't want to go to the next round."
Tottenham manager Igor Tudor has emphasized that Premier League survival is the club's primary objective despite facing a crucial Champions League last 16 tie against Atletico Madrid. Spurs have struggled dramatically in the league, losing their first three games under Tudor and failing to win 11 consecutive league matches for the first time since 1975, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone. The Opta supercomputer assigns them a 16.8% chance of relegation. However, Tudor believes the Champions League competition could provide momentum for improvement, noting Spurs' strong European form with three consecutive Champions League victories without conceding. He acknowledges Atletico's experience and quality while expressing determination to progress in the competition alongside addressing league performance.
