"Every game is important. A totally different mentality aspect can be used in this kind of game, so maybe this can help us see which problems we have, and to switch the right way. But always focus on us, to grow as a team, to do things better."
"Our first aim is the Premier League - this is something that needs to be said publicly. It's a normal thing. The Champions League is something extra, but that doesn't mean we don't want to pass and don't want to go to the next round."
"Players are coming back, that's important. In all three games we missed the players on their positions and we missed the players who are usually playing. It's a beautiful game to play tomorrow, a totally different competition than the Premier League."
Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor has declared that securing Premier League survival takes priority over Champions League advancement. The club's poor domestic form led to Thomas Frank's dismissal, and three consecutive defeats under Tudor have left Spurs just one point above the relegation zone. Despite this struggle, Spurs have performed well in Europe and earned automatic qualification to the Champions League last 16. Tudor acknowledges the Champions League is valuable but emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining top-flight status for a 49th consecutive season. Key defenders Djed Spence and Cristian Romero return to availability, with captain Romero making his first appearance under Tudor. Richarlison will start against Atletico Madrid after appearing off the bench in previous matches.
