"Tottenham have the chance to put their relegation worries to one side and focus on Champions League progression when they go to Atletico Madrid tonight. Spurs sit just one point above the Premier League drop zone amid a wretched run that has seen them fail to win a game in domestic competition this calendar year."
"Atletico have only won one of their last 10 Champions League meetings with English clubs (D2 L7), beating Manchester United 1-0 in March 2022. Tottenham have faced Atletico just once before in European competition, beating them in the 1963 Cup Winners' Cup final 5-1."
"Atletico have never lost a Champions League knockout stage game under Diego Simeone at either their former home, the Vicente Calderón (W7 D4), or their current home, the Metropolitano (W6 D2)."
Tottenham travel to Atletico Madrid for a Champions League last-16 match while facing significant pressure in domestic competition. The club sits precariously close to the Premier League relegation zone, having failed to win any league games in 2024. Interim manager Igor Tudor leads a struggling squad against Atletico, who sit third in La Liga following a weekend victory. The match kicks off at 8pm UK time and will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and Discovery Plus. Historically, Atletico have struggled against English clubs in European competition, winning only one of their last ten Champions League meetings with English sides. Tottenham previously defeated Atletico 5-1 in the 1963 Cup Winners' Cup final.
