"Marcos Llorente put the home side ahead after just six minutes at the Metropolitano, following a mistake by Kinsky to give the ball away, before Antoine Griezmann made it 2-0. When Julián Álvarez put Atlético 3-0 up -- after another Kinsky error -- coach Igor Tudor had seen enough, and replaced the keeper with Guglielmo Vicario."
"The switch didn't stop the goals coming, as Robin Le Normand made it 4-0 on 22 minutes, before Pedro Porro pulled a goal back for the visitors. Kinsky was making his first Champions League start for Spurs since the qualifying round, and his first in any competition since October."
"Tudor -- appointed last month -- is already under pressure, with the team having lost their last five matches going into the game in Madrid."
Tottenham suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid in their Champions League last 16 first leg at the Metropolitano. Goalkeeper Antonín Kinsky made critical errors early in the match, leading to goals from Marcos Llorente and Julián Álvarez. After Kinsky's third mistake resulted in Atlético's third goal, coach Igor Tudor substituted him with Guglielmo Vicario after just 17 minutes. Robin Le Normand extended the lead to 4-0 before Pedro Porro scored a consolation goal for Tottenham. Kinsky was making his first Champions League start since qualifying rounds and his first competitive appearance since October. Tudor, recently appointed, faces mounting pressure with the team having lost five consecutive matches before this fixture.
