"I've been trying to make sense of it. 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."
"Kinsky's substitution was the earliest a goalkeeper had been replaced in the knockout stages since 2010-11, and Tottenham's 3-0 deficit after 15 minutes was the earliest that a team had been so far behind in a Champions League knockout stage."
"A slip by Kinsky gifted Marcos Llorente the opening goal for Atlético on six minutes, and a minute after Antoine Griezmann made it 2-0 on 14 minutes, Kinsky mis-kicked a clearance to allow Julián Álvarez to make it 3-0."
Antonín Kinsky, a 22-year-old Czech U21 international, experienced a catastrophic UEFA Champions League debut for Tottenham Hotspur against Atlético Madrid. Substituted after just 17 minutes, Kinsky conceded three goals while committing two major mistakes. A slip on six minutes allowed Marcos Llorente to score, and a mis-kicked clearance in the 15th minute enabled Julián Álvarez to make it 3-0. Coach Igor Tudor replaced him with Guglielmo Vicario. This substitution marked the earliest goalkeeper replacement in Champions League knockout stages since 2010-11, and Tottenham's 3-0 deficit after 15 minutes was the earliest such deficit in knockout stage history. Former England keeper Joe Hart expressed sympathy for Kinsky's performance.
