Tottenham are hoping for another famous European night as they host Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Igor Tudor’s side trail 5-2 from the first leg after an embarrassing collapse in Madrid, with Antonin Kinsky at fault as Spurs conceded four goals in 22 minutes to leave this season’s European dream in tatters.

However, the visitors rallied somewhat to fight back to a three-goal deficit, and while they’ve been left with a mountain to climb, it’s not an impossible task against an Atleti side who were uncharacteristically open at times last week.

And with the Lilywhites coming into the match buoyed by the hard-fought draw at Anfield at the weekend, Spurs fans will be calling upon memories of Amsterdam in 2019 as they hope to spur their side on to another famous comeback.

Tottenham have it all to do after a calamitous first leg performance left them trailing Atletico Madrid 5-2.

Spurs conceded four times in the first 22 minutes of the Champions League round of 16 tie, with Igor Tudor substituting Antonin Kinsky early on having given the young goalkeeper his first appearance in the competition.

While goals from Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke restored a modicum of respectability, home prospects of progression are slim even after an improved Premier League showing against Liverpool at the weekend.

Atletico will know a quarter-final place is within their grasp provided they can avoid a collapse in London.
