Tottenham Hotspur will face Atlético Madrid tonight, hoping to achieve a remarkable comeback in the Champions League and advance to the quarter-finals.
Following a 5–2 loss in the first leg in Spain, Tottenham finds itself in a situation where they have nothing to lose. The team suffered three defensive mistakes early on, putting their European ambitions at risk.
Manager Igor Tudor comes into this game after securing a positive draw against Liverpool on Sunday. However, he has to manage a significant injury crisis as the team aims to join an elite group of teams that have recovered from a three-goal deficit in UCL history.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
Tudor’s squad is dealing with discipline issues and a lingering virus. Richarlison is suspended for the match, while João Palhinha is out due to a concussion. Late fitness checks will be needed for Dominic Solanke and Conor Gallagher, who is struggling with an illness.
On a positive note, Micky van de Ven is back from a domestic suspension and will team up with Cristian Romero for improved defense. Youngster Archie Gray is set to start his seventh UCL match, a new record for any Spurs player under 21.
Guglielmo Vicario will return as the starting goalkeeper after a challenging first leg for his backup, Antonín Kinský. The defense includes Pedro Porro and Djed Spence on the flanks. In midfield, Gray and Pape Matar Sarr will support a lineup that is missing several experienced players.
In attack, Xavi Simons and Mathys Tel will be key creative players. They will assist Randal Kolo Muani and potentially Solanke, who aims to score in four consecutive club Champions League matches, similar to Jude Bellingham.
