  • Antonin Kinsky made two costly errors on his Champions League debut as Tottenham were beaten 5-2 by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.
  • Kinsky’s mistakes came early on and he was substituted after just 17 minutes by interim manager Igor Tudor.
  • Tudor did not acknowledge the visibly distraught Kinsky as he came off the pitch before heading straight down the tunnel.
  • Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea took to X to send a message of support to Kinsky, telling him: “Keep your head up and you will go again”.
  • Pressure is mounting on Tudor after four straight defeats since he replaced Thomas Frank, while Kinsky now looks unlikely to play when Spurs face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
