Tottenham host Atletico Madrid in Champions League second leg

Tottenham Hotspur will host Atletico Madrid on March 18, 2026, aiming to overturn a 5-2 deficit from the first leg in the Champions League round of 16. The match kicks off at 8pm in North London. Spurs seek a significant improvement after their recent 1-1 draw at Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur face a daunting task in the Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid. Following a 5-2 loss in the first leg, Spurs must produce a remarkable comeback at their North London home. The game is scheduled for 8pm and can be watched on TNT Sports or streamed via the discovery+ app, with international viewers directed to local rights holders. Tottenham recently earned a 1-1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool, offering some optimism amid their precarious position near the Premier League relegation zone. However, they must set aside domestic struggles for this European clash. Atletico Madrid arrive in strong form, having won six of their last seven matches, including a 1-0 victory over Getafe at the weekend. Key statistics highlight the challenge: Tottenham have won only three of their 16 encounters with Spanish sides in European competitions. Atletico have lost five of their last six visits to England. On a positive note for Spurs, they have triumphed in all four Champions League home games this season, scoring 10 goals without conceding. Standout performer Julián Alvarez has netted 13 goals in his last 16 Champions League appearances for Atletico, who have opened the scoring in seven of their last eight matches in the competition.
