After an embarrassing showing in Spain last week, Tottenham faces a challenge at home as they host Atletico Madrid in this UEFA Champions League last-16 second-leg clash in London. Spurs crashed to a woeful 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid last Tuesday in a match that saw interim boss Igor Tudor controversially substitute young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky after just 17 minutes at 3-0 down.
A battling 1-1 draw away to Liverpool on Sunday has provided some hope for Spurs in their battle to avoid relegation from the EPL, but a comeback here against an Atletico side that has lost just once in their last eight games across all competitions seems unlikely.
Spurs take on Atletico Madrid at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on Wednesday, March 18. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, making it a 9 p.m. CET kickoff in Europe, a 4 p.m. ET or 1 p.m. PT start in the US and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Thursday morning.
Brazilian star Richarlison’s late strike earned Tottenham a potentially vital 1-1 draw away at Liverpool in their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League on Sunday.

How to watch UEFA Champions League games with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with Premier League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verify whether your streaming subscription allows VPN use.
