Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham LIVE: Champions League result, latest updates and fan reaction


 

9 hours ago

Atletico Madrid tore Tottenham Hotspur apart in a stunning first-half blitz on Tuesday, powering to a 5-2 victory in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and leaving the Premier League side with a mountain to climb in London. The visitors' 22-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky endured a night to forget on his first appearance since October and only his third of the season.


Two costly errors from the Czech helped Atletico race into a commanding lead and he was substituted in the 17th minute by manager Igor Tudor immediately after Atletico's third goal. Marcos Llorente struck after six minutes when Kinsky slipped while playing the ball out and Antoine Griezmann doubled the lead in the 14th when Micky van de Ven also lost his footing.




                                               

A minute later Julian Alvarez walked in the third after Kinsky miscued a clearance, the earliest a team has gone three goals up in a Champions League knockout match. After Kinsky was replaced by Guglielmo Vicario, Atletico added a fourth when Robin Le Normand's header crossed the line following a rebound from Griezmann's free kick. Tottenham defender Pedro Porro reduced the deficit after 26 minutes. Alvarez then raced from his own half to score the hosts' fifth goal in the 55th before Dominic Solanke punished an error by Atletico keeper Jan Oblak which gifted Spurs a second goal.

How Vinicius Jr became Real Madrid’s man for the Champions League knockout rounds

“He is the most decisive player in the world.” That was Carlo Ancelotti’s verdict on Vinicius Junior in February 2023 after he dismantled Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League round of 16. With Real Madrid 2-0 down inside 14 minutes, Vinicius Jr curled home from the left side of the box before unwittingly deflecting a poor Alisson clearance into the net to claw them level by half-time. The Brazil international added an assist midway through the second half, measuring his run before setting up Karim Benzema on the break to give Madrid a 5-2 win. A player who has faced adversity throughout his career, it is no surprise that Vinicius Jr has often thrived under the bright European midweek lights in the second half of the season.

William Liang-Imagn Images Another crushing loss for the Denver Nuggets. After the Los Angeles Lakers took as much as a 17-point lead, the Nuggets stormed back to force overtime. However, after an ugly overtime period with plenty of missed shots, Lakers superstar Luka Doncic took matters into his own hands. In a tie game, Doncic knocked down the game-winning mid-range shot with just 0.5 seconds remaining. It was malpractice to leave Spencer Jones on an island with Doncic with the game on the line, as the six-time All-Star will win that battle nine times out of ten. Here are a few instant takeaways from Denver's crushing loss on Saturday night:         ...

Bam Adebayo 83 Points — Fans Call NBA a Joke; Could Wizards Face Investigation for Tanking?

Miami Heat centre Bam Adebayo scored 83 points, the second‑highest total in NBA history, in a 150‑129 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, igniting intense discussion about the nature of the performance and the Wizards' defensive approach. Adebayo's 83‑point effort overtook Kobe Bryant's 81‑point game from 2006, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain's 100‑point masterpiece in 1962. His stat line included 20 of 43 from the field, 7 of 22 from three‑point range and an astounding 36 of 43 at the free‑throw line, breaking single‑game NBA records for both free throws made and attempted. The performance marked a career‑night for Adebayo, who entered Tuesday averaging under five free throw attempts per game before erupting for a historic scoring output.                                                          ...
