Atletico with one foot in the Champions League quarterfinals, triumphs with 5

Atletico Madrid did not forgive Tottenham at all and plunged them even deeper into their crisis.

In the Metropolitano, Diego Pablo Simeone's team fell like an avalanche on the London team, defeating them 5-2.

Los Colchoneros were unstoppable in the first 22 minutes, punishing Igor Tudor's team 4 times. Marcos Llorente opened the scoring in the 6th minute and from that moment the Madrid team did not stop. Antoine Griezmann in the 14th minute brought the score to 2-0.

But before the enthusiasm for the Frenchman's goal had fully died down, Julian Alvarez scored the third goal, practically knocking Tottenham out. But it didn't end there; in the 22nd minute, Le Normand completed the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

Tottenham, at one point in the challenge, came out of their area and in the 26th minute reduced the difference to 4-1 with a goal from Pedro Porros. In the second half, Atletico completed the "mania", as they scored the 5th goal with Julian Alvarez, who completed his personal double.

In the 77th minute, Tottenham scored their second goal through Solanke to make it 5-2 and make this defeat less bitter.
