Tottenham Hotspur exited the Champions League on Wednesday following a 7-5 aggregate defeat to Atletico Madrid. Despite a 3-2 victory in the second leg, the London club failed to overturn a three-goal deficit from the opening match. Archie Gray operated in central midfield alongside Pape Matar Sarr, providing the assist for one of two goals scored by Xavi Simons. Randal Kolo Muani also scored for the home side, according to official club reports.
Interim manager Igor Tudor praised Gray following the match, stating that the central position is the best role for the 20-year-old. The midfielder previously played in four different positions during Tudor's first four matches in charge. Tottenham currently sit 16th in the Premier League table, according to Football365. The club is two places above the relegation zone with nine matches remaining in the season. Tudor remains under pressure ahead of a league fixture against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, per reports from independent sources.
