"Tottenham will host Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night in their last-16 second leg, following what was a shambolic performance from Spurs in Spain last week. Tudor's side found themselves 4-0 down after just 22 minutes at the Metropolitano Stadium, a passage of which saw goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky hauled off by the Croatian boss after just 17 minutes following errors which led to Atletico's first and third goals."
"That's because Atleti stopper Jan Oblak - ranked at No.8 in FourFourTwo's list of the planet's best goalkeepers at the end of last year - will miss the trip to north London. The Slovenian has been a key part of Simeone's team for more than a decade and has not missed a single game in the Champions League this season."
"Richarlison's 90th-minute strike meant that Spurs ended a run of six straight losses in all competitions and secured interim coach Igor Tudor's first point. That meant Spurs were able to move one point clear of the relegation zone and while battling for their Premier League future will be the club's priority in the coming weeks."
Tottenham secured a 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Sunday, ending a six-game losing streak and earning interim coach Igor Tudor his first point. Richarlison scored in the 90th minute to move Spurs one point clear of the relegation zone. Despite focusing on their Premier League survival, Spurs must face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in a Champions League last-16 second leg. Tottenham suffered a devastating 5-2 loss in the first leg in Spain, where goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was substituted after 17 minutes following errors. Atletico's star goalkeeper Jan Oblak, ranked eighth globally, will miss the return fixture in north London.
