Igor Tudor’s Antonin Kinsky decision backfires in Tottenham’s Madrid nightmare
- On Tuesday, Igor Tudor's decision to start Antonin Kinský backfired as Tottenham were thumped 5-2 by Atlético Madrid, trailing 4-0 inside 22 minutes in the Champions League last-16 first leg.
- Choosing Kinský reflected a selection gamble tied to Tottenham's league priorities; Tudor had been in charge only 29 days and Kinský was making his first appearance since October in his 13th club outing.
- Two early errors set the tone, as Kinský's scuffed clearance helped Marcos Llorente score, a Van de Ven slip allowed Griezmann to make it 2-0, and Kinský’s miscued pass let Álvarez walk the ball in.
- On the night the team also finished short-handed, Tudor's decision backfired as Tottenham finished with nine men after João Palhinha and Cristian Romero were forced off after a clash of heads.
- Before the next game on Sunday, Tottenham must regroup as clips of Kinský's second error circulated on March 10, 2026, with bookmakers listing De Zerbi, Keane, Redknapp, and Dyche as potential replacements.
