Igor Tudor continues hunt for first win as Spurs boss

Tottenham require a miracle as they look to keep their Champions League campaign alive on Wednesday, facing Atletico Madrid in the second-leg.

Igor Tudor’s brief reign with the club seemed to hit a nadir as Spurs were beaten 5-2 in last week’s first-leg. A pair of glaring errors from back-up goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who was hooked after just 17 minutes, and a third from Micky van de Ven had the La Liga side three goals clear after just 15 minutes.

That proved too great a deficit for Spurs to overturn, and many called for Tudor’s head to roll after the full-time whistle.

But he remains in his post, and after Richarlison’s late equaliser saw Spurs take a deserved point home from Anfield on Sunday, the mood around the club is the highest it has been for quite some time.

Atletico, meanwhile, spent their weekend beating ten-man Getafe in La Liga, and travel to London having lost only once in their last eight matches.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.

The match will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.

Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid team news

As has been the case for much of the campaign, Tottenham have a lengthy list of absentees - a remarkable 13 players were unavailable for Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.

There should be several fresh faces returning on Wednesday, though.

Conor Gallagher missed the Liverpool tie with a fever, but he should be back in contention here. Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha collided late in the first-leg and both may return on Wednesday, having observed concussion protocols. Tudor will issue an update on their availability at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

Destiny Udogie remains sidelined with a hamstring problem, with Yves Bissouma and Lucas Bergvall joining him on the physio’s table.

Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and Destiny Udogie are also recovering from long-term injuries, alongside Ben Davies and James Maddison.

Richarlison is suspended for the visit of Atletico after he was booked in the reverse fixture.

The visitors, meanwhile, have relatively few issues. They will be without goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who made some impressive stops in that chaotic first-leg.

Rodrigo Mendoza, who only joined the side in February, is out with a knee problem, and Pablo Barrios is a doubt.

Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid prediction

Tottenham’s valiant, deserved draw at Liverpool last weekend gave fans a glimmer of hope that this season may not end in a worst-case scenario.

They displayed a level of fight and desire which has been worryingly absent in recent weeks, and came close to a winner in the dying stages.

Tudor’s wait for a first win in the job goes on, though, and he may well write off this tie so as to focus on keeping Spurs in the top flight this season.

The best case for Spurs may be to recoup some sense of honour here after that dismal first leg.
