Clash against Tottenham Hotspur
This Tuesday at 21:00 CEST, we host the English side for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
An important match is scheduled at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. The Champions League Round of 16 kicks off with our game against Tottenham Hotspur. We host the Londoners after beating Club Brugge 4-1 in the second leg at home to qualify.
The English side qualified after finishing the Champions League league phase in fourth, which meant they did not play in the play-off elimination round. In LaLiga, we played our most recent fixture last Saturday against Real Sociedad at home, whilst Igor Tudor's men lost in their game against Crystal Palace.
At the moment, Tottenham Hotspur sit in sixteenth in the English Premier League with 29 points. Atleti and Tottenham have rarely faced each other, the only time being the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963, where we lost against the Englishmen.
