"No, after you see what happened, it's the wrong decision. But it was the right decision before. A change of competition, it was the right moment. Unfortunately, what happened, happened. I never changed a goalkeeper after 20 minutes."
"We don't need to comment. It's not the moment to speak too much. It was a strange game, a very strange game. We gave them three goals. We even started well, then the problems kill us in three situations. Very, very strange. Very unusual. It took our confidence."
Tottenham suffered a devastating 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in their Champions League last-16 first leg, with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky making critical errors in the opening minutes. Marcos Llorente and Julian Alvarez both scored from Kinsky's mistakes within 15 minutes, prompting manager Igor Tudor to substitute him after just two minutes. Atletico reached a 4-0 lead after 22 minutes, the second-fastest four-goal advantage in Champions League history. Despite the catastrophic performance, Tudor maintained the decision to start Kinsky was correct beforehand, though acknowledging hindsight showed otherwise. The defeat marked Tottenham's sixth consecutive loss across all competitions, a historic low for the club.
