"Kinsky's opportunity to impress turned into a horror show after he slipped to allow Marcos Llorente to score after six minutes before he conceded again in the 14th minute, but worse followed 92 seconds later when his scuffed kick allowed Julian Alvarez to walk the ball into the empty net."
"Commentating for the BBC, former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson described Tudor's decision to substitute Kinsky as "confidence destroying" and added: "I have never seen that on a football pitch.""
"Speaking on TNT Sports, former England goalkeeper Joe Hart said: "My heart is absolutely broken for him (Kinsky). He had a horrible 14 minutes, that slip and the third goal. I don't know what to say. I am just heartbroken for the lad.""
Tottenham interim head coach Igor Tudor started 22-year-old goalkeeper Kinsky in their Champions League last-16 first leg against Atletico Madrid. The decision proved disastrous as Kinsky conceded three goals in 14 minutes. He slipped to allow Marcos Llorente to score after six minutes, then conceded again in the 14th minute. Ninety-two seconds later, his poor kick enabled Julian Alvarez to score. Captain Cristian Romero signaled for a substitution, and Kinsky was replaced by Guglielmo Vicario. Teammates embraced Kinsky as he left the pitch. Former goalkeepers Paul Robinson and Joe Hart criticized the situation, with Robinson calling the substitution "confidence destroying" and Hart expressing sympathy for the young player.
