Kinsky substituted after 15 minutes; Vicario replaces him

Antonin Kinsky's last game for Tottenham came in October, when Spurs lost 2-0 to Newcastle in the League Cup. Almost six months later the Czech goalkeeper made a surprise return between the posts in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atlético Madrid.

It did not go well: Marcos Llorente, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez left Kinsky dazed as Simeone's team led 3-0 after just a quarter of an hour. Two minutes after the third goal he was replaced by Guglielmo Vicario, who had not missed a game since that 29th of October in the League Cup.

At the Wanda Metropolitano Tudor had explained his selection before the match: "Today I am choosing what I think is best for the team at this moment. For today, this is the starting eleven. There will also be the return leg, there is room for everyone." Shortly after a quarter of an hour the Croatian coach reversed his decision.
