Tottenham Hotspur is in deep trouble! They were soundly beaten 5-2 away by Spain's Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. The second leg will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, 18 Mar 2026 GMT+7.
This means the “Spurs” have now lost six consecutive matches across all competitions, the first time in the club's 142-year history. Meanwhile, Igor Tudor has become the first manager to lose his first four games since taking over Tottenham, as follows:
Lost to Atlético Madrid 2-5
Lost to Crystal Palace 1-3
Lost to Fulham 1-2
Lost to Arsenal 1-4
Lost to Newcastle 1-2
Lost to Manchester United 0-2
Tottenham fans are losing patience, with calls for the club to reconsider the manager's position if the situation does not improve soon, especially with the crucial upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. Currently, Tottenham is only one point above the relegation zone.
