Tottenham Hotspur exited the Champions League at the round of 16 stage after a 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The result at the Metropolitano Stadium confirmed a 2-0 aggregate loss for the London club. Antoine Griezmann scored the only goal of the match in the second half, according to Sky Sports.
Focus now turns to the domestic campaign where the team faces a battle for Premier League survival. Tottenham currently sit 17th in the league table, according to the Premier League. They remain one point clear of the relegation zone with eight matches remaining in the season.
Manager Ange Postecoglou told reporters that the performance provided encouragement despite the result. The squad returns to England to prepare for a fixture against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Per The Guardian, the club has won only two of its last 10 league matches. Maintaining top-flight status is now the primary objective for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
