Victory in London is not enough, Atletico eliminates Tottenham and gets ready

Tottenham got their first win under Igor Tudor as they beat Atletico Madrid 3-2, a victory that does not help them avoid elimination as the Spanish team is the one that advances to the quarterfinals, but which could help their morale for the rest of the season.

Tottenham ended the first half of the match with a 1-0 advantage with a goal scored by Kolo Muani in the 30th minute. But after the break, Atletico Madrid equalized at 1-1 with a goal from Julian Alvarez.

The Hotspurs' response was very quick as Xavi Simons scored for his team, giving them a 2-1 advantage.

But Atletico Madrid reacted again and tied the score at 2-2 with David Hancko's goal in extra time. Xavi Simons' penalty gave Tottenham a 3-2 victory, which will now focus on survival in the Premier League, while Los Colchoneros now face another clash with Barcelona in a duel where the Catalan team will seek a rematch for the semi-finals of the King's Cup.
