Here is the latest team news and confirmed lineups for this evening\u2019s Champions League match between Atl\u00e9tico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. A disappointing 3\u20131 defeat to Crystal Palace condemned Igor Tudor to his third defeat in three matches<\/a>. This last 16 tie against Atl\u00e9tico provides a chance to build some much-needed momentum. Spurs have already impressed in Europe this season, with their solitary loss coming against reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although off the pace in the La Liga title race, Atl\u00e9tico are on course for an impressive season. Simeone\u2019s side recently defeated Barcelona to reach the Copa del Rey final, and overcame Club Brugge to reach this stage of the Champions League. Already sitting comfortably in La Liga\u2019s top four, Simeone\u2019s primary focus will now be on progressing past Tottenham and reaching the quarter-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n
