Tottenham Hotspur face a daunting task on Wednesday night as they attempt to overturn a heavy deficit against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Atleti.Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to overcome a three-goal deficit when they take to the pitch against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their round of 16 tie in the Champions League.The last time Spurs overcame such a deficit was back in 2019 when they found themselves 3-0 down at half-time in Amsterdam in the second leg of their semi-final clash, but a Lucas Moura hat-trick in the second half saw Tottenham advance thanks to away goals.This time it is different, but Spurs can draw some inspiration from one of the most iconic nights in Champions League history when they face Diego Simeone’s men.Credit: Michael AC Braithwaite / @ac_sports_photoWhen and where Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid takes placeTottenham will take on Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, 18 March 2026 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 (UK time).

A fast start, though, could help Spurs gather momentum early on in the game, and if they grab a quick goal, they could well turn things around.Score prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Atletico Madrid.READ MORE: ‘I would do it again’ – Igor Tudor has no regrets over controversial Tottenham decisionThe post Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid guide: How to watch, team news and what Spurs need to win appeared first on Spurs Web.
